The cross-border ETF market is experiencing unprecedented rapid growth. According to the latest statistics, as of February 11 this year, the total size of cross-border ETFs has risen to the 1 trillion yuan mark. Although this milestone was first surpassed on January 12, earlier this year, the size temporarily declined afterward, and now it has once again stabilized above 1 trillion yuan.

In terms of quantity growth, cross-border ETFs also performed remarkably. By the end of 2024, there were a total of 138 cross-border ETFs listed and traded, with a total size of 424.226 billion yuan. By February 12 this year, this number had increased to 214, indicating a continuous expansion of market supply. Notably, the number of cross-border ETFs with a scale of over 10 billion yuan also increased significantly, from 11 at the beginning of 2025 to 26 on February 11, reflecting a substantial rise in investor demand for cross-border asset allocation.

Among the components of cross-border ETFs, Hong Kong stock-themed products dominate. As of February 11, the total size of Hong Kong stock-themed ETFs reached 822.451 billion yuan, with several “mega” products emerging. Among them, the GuoFeng Hong Kong Stock Connect Internet ETF grew from 22.19 billion yuan at the beginning of 2025 to 86.654 billion yuan, making it the largest cross-border ETF currently. Following closely is the Huaxia Hang Seng Technology ETF, with a size of 52.759 billion yuan; and the Huatai Bairui Southern East Hong Kong Hang Seng Technology ETF ranks third with 48.476 billion yuan.

Other prominent products include the E Fund China Concept Internet ETF (41.909 billion yuan), GF Hong Kong Stock Connect Non-Bank ETF, Huaxia Hang Seng Internet ETF, ICBC Credit Suisse Hong Kong Stock Connect Technology 30 ETF, and E Fund Hang Seng Technology ETF, all with sizes exceeding 30 billion yuan. These data indicate that Hong Kong stock-related ETFs have become an important channel for cross-border investment, attracting continuous large-scale capital inflows.
