ETF Empowering Investors in China's Transition to Sustainable Economy

Among these, CSI New Energy Index primarily focuses on clean and renewable energy and more than 70% of its constituents involved in electrical equipment sector. Conversely, SEEE Carbon Neutral Index differentiates as a more comprehensive index. As of 2023, its composition was weighted at 67.2% towards companies engaged in clean, renewable energy and 32.8% in low-carbon transition.

Beyond new energy industry, China is driving a comprehensive green transformation towards a more sustainable economy and the electric vehicle industry serves as a prime example. Data from China Passenger Car Association revealed that in July, retail sales of new energy passenger car outstripped that of conventional vehicles with the monthly penetration rate exceeding 50% for the first time. The CNI New Energy Battery Index is well poised to capture this trend, particularly focusing on energy storage system (ESS) battery manufacturing and integration. The only ETF dedicated to this index, E Fund CNI New Energy Battery ETF, aimed to benefit from the growth potential of its index constituents, with an expected net profit growth rate of 22.6% for 2024.
