Related to over 100 billion yuan! Another ETF giant's ETF completes a full rebranding

After renaming the first batch of 8 ETFs on December 19 last year, on March 25, leading ETF house Huabao Fund Co., Ltd. once again officially announced another collective renaming of a batch of 28 ETFs under its umbrella. By this point, all ETFs under Huabao Fund have completed the renaming upgrade.

Of the 28 ETFs being renamed this time, they cover a variety of ETF categories, including broad-based index ETFs, industry-themed ETFs, Hong Kong stock connect ETFs, strategy ETFs, and enhanced-index ETFs. In accordance with the requirements of the new regulations, the on-exchange short names of the renamed ETFs will uniformly be constructed by three elements: “core elements of the underlying investment + ETF + Huabao,” while the fund codes and other names remain unchanged.

All ETFs will add the suffix “Huabao.” “ETF Huabao” is becoming the uniform identifier for Huabao Fund’s ETF products, making it even easier for investors to quickly recognize Huabao Fund’s ETF products and improving the convenience of ETF investing. At present, Huabao Fund manages a total of 46 ETFs, with a strong lineup of quality offerings, and the aggregate size (including currency-type ETFs) exceeds RMB 200 billion. In the ranking of ETF management size (including currency-type ETFs) across the entire market, it ranks stably within the top 10 of the public fund industry.

**　What you want is what you get—clear and never get lost**

There are simply too many ETFs tracking the same index, their names are highly similar, and it’s hard to tell them apart; plus, ETF codes are also difficult to remember… During the boom period of ETF development in China, investors face many “happy headaches” when it comes to efficiently selecting ETFs.

With such highly visible pain points, over the past half year, the public fund industry has kicked off a wave of large-scale ETF renaming.

Taking Huabao’s Hong Kong Stock Connect Information Technology ETF (original short name: Hong Kong Information Technology ETF) as an example: this ETF is the first ETF in the entire market focused on the “Hong Kong chips” industrial chain. It is also currently the only ETF tracking the CSI Hong Kong Stock Connect Information Technology Composite Index, and it has already been listed and traded on the exchange. The underlying index is composed of “70% hardware + 30% software.” It is heavily weighted in Hong Kong stocks in the “semiconductor + electronic + computer software” sectors, covering 50 Hong Kong high-tech companies. Among them, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation’s weight is 13%, Xiaomi Group-W’s weight is 12.98%, and HYGON Semiconductor’s weight is 7.38%. It does not include large-cap internet companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, and Meituan, making it sharper in focus and easier to capture Hong Kong AI hard-tech market opportunities.

After this renaming, the ETF name is obviously more intuitive and easier to remember (Hong Kong Stock Connect + information technology + ETF). The identity of the manager is also clearly conveyed (+ Huabao). When investors search in the search box of their brokerage trading software, they can simply type “Hong Kong Stock Connect Information Technology” to lock in this ETF, significantly reducing search costs and the risk of operational mistakes—making ETF investing simpler and more efficient.

Huabao Fund states that after the renaming, the on-exchange short names of its ETFs are clearer, more concise, and easier to identify. They not only directly reflect the index being tracked behind the on-exchange short name, but also directly present the fund manager of the product. This “you can tell by the name what it is” naming approach enables investors to recognize product characteristics more quickly and accurately, improves the efficiency of investment decision-making, and will also promote the more benign and healthy development of China’s ETF market.

**　Premium ETF picks—choose “ETF Huabao”**

In recent years, China’s ETF market has grown rapidly. By the end of 2025, the total number of listed ETFs onshore reached 1,381, and the total scale historically surpassed RMB 6 trillion. The share of A-share circulating market value increased to 6.1%. This sets higher expectations for how fund managers can continuously optimize service experience and precisely match the needs of ETF investors.

Industry professionals analyze that on-exchange ETF short names directly indicate the fund manager. Going forward, the brand awareness and reputation of ETF business for fund companies will become an even more important competitive variable.

Huabao Fund caught the fast train of the ETF boom and has firmly established itself among the leading ETF houses. Its ETF product matrix is quite distinctive and has competitive strengths. In the first half of the period ending March 11, 2026, equity ETFs (including cross-border) under Huabao Fund cumulatively received RMB 60k in net subscriptions, ranking among the top three in the industry, surpassing multiple leading fund companies. In addition, regardless of whether since the beginning of this year, over the past one year, or since 2025, the net subscription scale of Huabao Fund’s equity ETFs has remained within the top five in the industry, with strong capital-attraction capability as well.

At present, the total scale of ETFs under Huabao Fund (including currency-type ETFs) has exceeded the integer threshold of RMB 200 billion, reaching RMB 25.83B. In the ranking of ETF management size (including currency-type ETFs) across the entire market, it remains within the top 10 of the public fund industry. (Data source: Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, Wind; time as of 2026.3.23)

For the four popular ETFs under Huabao Fund—Huabao Broker ETF (512000), Huabao Medical ETF (512170), Huabao Bank ETF (512800), Huabao Hong Kong Internet ETF (513770)—the fund size for each exceeds RMB 205.24B. Among them, the latest size of Huabao Broker ETF (512000), the top A-share broker ETF, is as high as RMB 35.55B. Previously, Huabao Financial Technology ETF (159851) also once joined the “RMB 10 billion ETF club.” Its latest size is currently RMB 7.71B.
