A-share broad-based ETFs led the way with US$54.4 billion in net inflows, taking up more than 90% of the total net inflows. The top 10 ETFs were all broad-based, reflecting the performance of indexes such as the CSI 300, CSI 500, SSE 50, CSI 1000, ChiNext, and STAR 50. The E Fund CSI 300 ETF (Code: 510310) ranked first in terms of fund flows. Additionally, 23 broad-based ETFs have been launched, with CSI A50 ETF being the most favored. Ten ETFs tracking the CSI A50 index, including E Fund CSI A50 ETF (Code: 563080), gathered nearly US$2.3 billion, accounting for almost 40% of the new issuance this year.

On the other hand, high dividend yield ETFs attracted continuous inflows of approximately US$2.1 billion, backed by strong returns. The CSI Dividend Total Return Index and CSI Dividend Low Volatility Total Return Index delivered gains of 11% and 15% respectively. Riding on this momentum, fifteen high dividend yield ETFs were introduced in the first six months of this year, covering high dividend yield assets listed in A-share and Hong Kong stock markets. Notably, E Fund rolled out E Fund Hang Seng SCHK High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (Code: 159545) in March, which tracked the performance of companies listed in Hong Kong and included in Stock Connect, adding to the diversity of onshore investors' portfolios.
