In a significant move to deepen financial ties under the “Belt and Road” initiative, China Asset Management Co. (ChinaAMC)—China’s largest ETF provider—has officially launched two flagship products on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET).
This strategic partnership with InnovestX Securities opens a direct corridor for Thai capital into China’s top-tier equities.
📊 THE INVESTMENT CASE (Performance YTD): The launch comes at a time of robust recovery for Chinese equities. The new Depository Receipts (DRs) track two key indices:
- CSI 300 (Blue-Chips): Up ~18% this year (following a 15% rise in 2024).
- STAR 50 (Tech/Innovation): Up 36% this year, covering chip-making, biotech, and high-end manufacturing.
🚀 WHY IT MATTERS FOR INVESTORS:
- Frictionless Access: Thai investors can trade in real-time using Baht (THB) without opening overseas accounts.
- Tax Efficiency: Investors benefit from capital gains tax exemptions.
- Institutional Flow: This move signals China’s continued push to open its capital markets and attract medium-to-long-term foreign capital.
💡 GLOBAL CONTEXT: This follows ChinaAMC’s recent expansion in the U.S. (Nasdaq-listed ETF with Rayliant), reinforcing a strategy to channel global liquidity into China’s transformative technology sectors.
