The market warmth continues to spread! A500 ETF Huatai-PineBridge (563360) helps to low-costly position in leading A-share industries

Today’s early trading session, as the impact of external disruptive factors on the market gradually weakened, the A-share market overall continued yesterday’s rebound momentum, and the warmth kept spreading. In terms of news, on March 24 local time, the U.S. government submitted a ceasefire proposal containing 15 items to Iran, which may have boosted market expectations for easing tensions in the Middle East.

However, while sentiment may be repaired in the short term, uncertainty may still be the main theme. As funds look to capture opportunities from the market warming, they are more inclined to focus on core assets with solid fundamentals and ample cash flow. Against this backdrop, the A500ETF Huatai-Perry (563360) from “Baiye,” which has a balanced layout of index constituents, has seen steadily rising attention, and it has attracted a total of RMB 391 million over the past two trading days, making it a relatively better choice for investors to set up their baseline allocation for core A-share assets.

Meanwhile, since March, the CSI A500 Index has already transmitted some positive signals across various indicators. Data from Wind shows that, as of March 23, 2026, the price-to-book ratio of the CSI A500 Index has fallen to 34.92% at the historical percentile level. The spread between its dividend yield and the risk-free rate has also reached a historical high zone, at 92.99%. For funds seeking long-term returns, the investment value may be more pronounced, and the current period could be a relatively ideal window for positioning.

Against this backdrop, investor demand for the A500ETF Huatai-Perry (563360) has continued to show itself, driving the product fund size to RMB 38.55 billion. It has become the only ETF in the entire market that tracks the CSI A500 Index with a size exceeding RMB 37.5 billion, and its scale and liquidity advantages are relatively clear.

It is also worth noting that the A500ETF Huatai-Perry (563360) and its linked fund are similarly low-fee options for helping on-exchange and off-exchange investors position core assets. The product’s annual management fee rate and annual custody fee rate are 0.15% and 0.05%, respectively, and both adopt the lowest fee tier structure currently available for equity index fund products in the market.
