Another batch of hard technology fund products has been approved. Recently, the China Securities Regulatory Commission approved a new batch of hard technology-themed fund products, totaling 15 products. This batch includes passive funds tracking the “Double Innovation” Artificial Intelligence Index and active funds based on the China Strategic Emerging Industries Component Index, focusing on core technology and the growth direction of strategic emerging industries. Currently, the 15 approved products have fully entered the preparation stage for issuance, and fundraising is expected to start successively in the near future. After fundraising is completed, they will proceed with filing, listing, and other relevant procedures according to regulations, steadily advancing operational implementation. Industry insiders say that the rollout of these products will continuously guide long-term social funds toward the hard technology field and the forefront of emerging industries.

Specifically, among the 15 approved products, 7 are passive funds tracking the China Securities Science and Technology Innovation Artificial Intelligence Index, granted to China International Capital Corporation, Taikang, Huatai-PB, Fuguo, Xingyin, Invesco Great Wall, and Bank of China Fund; 8 are active funds based on the China Strategic Emerging Industries Component Index, with approvals granted to Xingsheng Asset Management, Zhongjia, Xinhua, Dongcai, Caitong Asset Management, Nuoan, Southern, and Peng’an Fund.

From the perspective of the indices involved, the approved products track two core indices, with clear sample selection rules and defined investment directions, strictly adhering to industrial layout requirements.

Regarding the China Securities Science and Technology Innovation Artificial Intelligence Index, it selects 50 listed company securities involved in providing foundational resources, technology, and application support for artificial intelligence from the Sci-Tech Innovation Board and the Growth Enterprise Market, accurately reflecting the overall performance of securities of listed companies in the “Double Innovation” sector focused on artificial intelligence, centering on core assets of the AI industry chain.

For the China Strategic Emerging Industries Comprehensive Index, it selects company securities from nine major fields: new generation information technology, high-end equipment manufacturing, new materials, biotechnology, new energy vehicles, new energy, energy conservation and environmental protection, digital creative industries, and high-tech services, to comprehensively reflect the overall performance of securities of companies in China’s strategic emerging industries.

Industry insiders believe that both types of products focus on national strategic emerging industries, precisely aligning with high-level technological self-reliance and strength strategic goals, effectively guiding long-term social funds toward the hard technology field and the forefront of emerging industries. On one hand, they help break through bottlenecks in key core technologies, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and promote industrial clustering and upgrading; on the other hand, they improve the ecological system of technology finance in the capital market, providing investors with specialized and standardized investment channels, achieving a positive interaction between industrial development and wealth growth, and providing solid capital support for cultivating new productive forces.
