China Asset Management Co., Ltd. (ChinaAMC) announced on March 23rd that a second batch of 59 ETF products underwent a collective name change. This brings the total number of ChinaAMC's ETF products, exceeding 120, under full "real-name verification." Their expanded trading symbols are now uniformly structured as "Core Investment Element + ETF + ChinaAMC," while fund codes and other abbreviated names remain unchanged. This initiative aims to help investors "identify at a glance and select ChinaAMC ETFs with one click."

Currently, ChinaAMC manages a total of 122 ETFs, comprehensively covering core broad-based indices, trending sectors/themes, commodities, domestic and international markets, and strategic indices, among other diverse categories. After the real-name verification for ChinaAMC ETFs, investors might wonder what to do if they notice a suffix added to their held ETF names. In reality, only the on-exchange expanded trading symbols have been upgraded; all other aspects remain unaltered.

For investors facing challenges with too many ETFs tracking the same index, similar ETF names causing confusion, or difficulty remembering ETF codes, the real-name verification for ChinaAMC ETFs allows for quicker identification with less effort.

To capitalize on trending investment themes, the real-name verified ChinaAMC ETFs enable investors to follow market trends promptly. By simply entering keywords related to the "target index," investors can accurately locate relevant ETFs.

Industry insiders suggest that unified and clear naming conventions contribute to the deepening development and ecological optimization of the ETF market. From this perspective, ChinaAMC, often referred to as the "ETF leader," has completed the "real-name verification" for all its ETF products. Over 90% of products in China's ETF market have now adopted standardized naming. This not only facilitates investor screening and reduces the probability of incorrect purchases but also represents a reshuffling, where companies emphasizing brand building and possessing strong brand reputation are more likely to stand out. Taking the first domestic ETF – the SSE 50 ETF – as an example, investors can now directly search for "SSE 50ETF ChinaAMC" to access the product instantly, lowering search costs and enhancing product recognizability.

The ETF business is entering a new era characterized by standardization and transparency.

In recent years, China's ETF market has continued to expand, with index investing gaining widespread acceptance. By the end of 2025, the total scale of China's ETFs reached 6.02 trillion yuan, an increase of 2.29 trillion yuan from the end of 2024, making it the world's second-largest ETF market. The number of products exceeded 1,381, covering asset classes such as broad-based indices, sector themes, cross-border investments, commodities, and bonds, establishing itself as one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic segments within the public fund industry (Data source: Wind; As of December 31, 2025).

Driven by increasingly sophisticated investor structures, accelerating institutionalization trends, continuous policy support, and market mechanism improvements, index investing is transitioning from "rapid expansion" to "high-quality development." Against this backdrop, a wave of ETF "renaming," propelled by regulators and involving the entire industry, has emerged, marking the entry of the public fund ETF business into a new era of standardization and transparency.

This renaming initiative originated from the "Fund Business Guidelines" issued by the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges in 2025. The guidelines explicitly require all listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to complete the standardized adjustment of their expanded security symbols by March 31, 2026, uniformly adopting the naming structure: "Core Investment Element + ETF + Manager Name." For instance, there are currently 40 ETF products tracking the A500 Index with similar names, making it difficult for investors to quickly identify the manager. Following this change, the A500ETF Fund (512050) was upgraded to "A500ETF ChinaAMC." This move aims to address long-standing issues such as chaotic ETF product names, insufficient identifiability, and difficulties for investors in quickly recognizing the target index, thereby enhancing market information transparency and trading efficiency, and further solidifying the infrastructure for index investing.

Following the new regulations, ChinaAMC officially initiated the collective renaming of the first batch of 38 ETF products on January 12, 2026. Now, ahead of the regulatory deadline, the company has comprehensively completed the renaming, demonstrating a high level of cooperation with regulatory direction and a strong emphasis on investor experience. This action not only reflects ChinaAMC's firm support for industry standardization but also highlights its deep expertise and sense of responsibility in the field of index investing.

The "ETF Leader's" Dual Strengths: Largest Scale and Lowest Fees

Since launching the first domestic ETF – the SSE 50 ETF (510050) – on December 30, 2004, the company has consistently focused on index investing, continuously improving its product lineup. As of March 18, 2026, ChinaAMC manages a total of 122 ETFs (excluding ETF feeder funds), spanning types including broad-based, sector/theme, strategy, cross-border, commodity, and fixed income. Among these, 35 ETFs feature the lowest management fee tier in their respective market categories (management fee: 0.15% per annum, custody fee: 0.05% per annum), demonstrating substantial commitment to benefiting investors.

Scale is the most直观的体现 of market recognition. Data shows that by the end of 2025, ChinaAMC's equity ETF assets under management exceeded 900 billion yuan, with its average annual scale ranking first in the industry for 21 consecutive years (2005–2025, calculated based on annual average daily scale). This record stems not only from first-mover advantage but also relies on the company's systematic capabilities in index tracking precision, liquidity management, market-making services, and investor education. Concurrently, as of the end of June 2025, the number of ChinaAMC ETF account holders had reached 3.74 million, also ranking first in the industry, reflecting the high trust placed in its products and services by a broad base of individual and institutional investors (Data source: Fund Semi-Annual Reports).

What You See Is What You Get: For ETFs, Choose ChinaAMC

The standardization of ETF naming is not merely a formal adjustment but a significant step towards optimizing the industry ecosystem. The new naming rules make product identification clearer: investors need only input the "target index" keywords to accurately locate relevant ETFs, significantly reducing information search costs. Simultaneously, the explicit labeling of the "Manager Name" helps strengthen brand recognition and promote healthy competition. For ChinaAMC, standardized naming will further highlight its product advantages in specific segments, assisting investors in "identifying at a glance and selecting with one click."

Investors have observed that the "Lego-thinking" philosophy for diversified asset allocation advocated by ChinaAMC reveals, from a more strategic perspective, another potential avenue for building a competitive moat in the ETF business.

Over the years, ChinaAMC has met diverse investor wealth management needs by creating asset categories with finer granularity, integrating this approach throughout its ETF product layout. Like Lego bricks, this has ultimately formed an ecological matrix covering "all assets, all scenarios." This "Lego-like" ecosystem manifests as a rich, diverse, and precise product matrix. From core broad-based indices carrying beta, to sector themes chasing industrial trends, to cross-market products like CNQQ, and even commodity futures, ChinaAMC has woven an ETF allocation system encompassing comprehensive coverage of "stocks, bonds, and commodities."

Within this system, each ETF acts like a standardized building block, ready to be flexibly combined and infinitely reconfigured to respond to the rapidly changing trends and demands in the capital markets.

This ecological layout caters to the needs of different investor types: institutions commonly use broad-based ETFs for core portfolio allocation, individuals often prefer sector ETFs to capture sharp slices of thematic opportunities, and cross-border capital can utilize products like CNQQ to find secure entry points into Chinese assets.

Meanwhile, "Red Rocket," as the domestic first comprehensive, one-stop online service platform focused on index investing, aims to provide professional investors with more convenient and efficient investment configuration tools. The platform's unique "LetfGo" feature makes the process of creating investment portfolios as simple as playing with Lego bricks. The platform covers multi-dimensional indices across sectors, themes, cross-border markets, and their derived ETFs and feeder funds, offering full-process services from querying, analysis, comparison, to tracking. Through a highly visual interactive interface, it transforms complex financial data into intuitive charts, significantly lowering the participation barrier for ordinary investors.

Standing at the new starting point for high-quality ETF development, unified naming is just the beginning. Looking ahead, as product transparency increases, investor education deepens, and innovative tools continue to enrich, index investing is expected to play a more central role in asset allocation. Leading institutions represented by ChinaAMC, leveraging their long-accumulated professional capabilities, product breadth, and client base, will continue to guide the industry towards greater standardization, contributing to the construction of a more efficient, fair, and transparent capital market.
