[Foreign investment targets China’s ETF market, multiple institutions are investing in it] On September 15th, China’s ETF feast was in full swing, and institutional investors were vying to “take a seat.” According to reports, US quantitative trading giant Susquehanna International Group (SIG) is planning to expand its office space in Hong Kong to better enter the Chinese ETF market. At the same time, since this year, long-term allocation of insurance funds, bank financial management, and flexible institutional funds represented by securities firms, secondary private equity, and trusts have intensively appeared in the ETF market. Statistics from the private equity ranking network show that in the first half of the year, nearly a hundred private equity products appeared on the list of the top ten holders of ETFs established during the same period. An analysis report published by E Fund on the Asset Management Association of China in June showed that as of the end of 2025, the scale of equity ETFs held by insurance funds was nearly 370 billion yuan; from the end of the first quarter of 2022 to the end of the first quarter of 2026, the proportion of passive equity funds allocated to bank wealth management funds more than doubled. According to industry insiders, behind the competition among institutions for ETFs is the shift in the role of ETFs from institutional allocation to the expression of opinions. This is a "two-way rush" between capital demand and market supply. (Shanghai Securities News)
