As one of the market’s first index-enhanced ETFs, the CSI 500 Enhanced ETF Huatai-PineBridge (561550) combines the dual features of “index enhancement” and “convenient ETF trading.” On one hand, the product uses quantitative investment models to aim for returns surpassing the underlying index while controlling risk; on the other hand, it offers the convenience of on-exchange trading, which can better help investors seize market opportunities amid rapid rotation of hot topics and increased sector differentiation.

It is reported that the CSI 500 Index covers traditional cyclical sectors such as non-ferrous metals and basic chemicals, which have reasonable valuations and stable profits, as well as new economic growth sectors like electronics and electrical equipment, reflecting current market hotspots. With a balanced allocation to core A-share assets and enhanced capabilities through mature quantitative models, the CSI 500 Enhanced ETF Huatai-PineBridge (561550) has shown excellent long-term performance. As of the end of February 2026, its three-year return ranked in the top 9% among similar funds on Morningstar (22/261).

With the implementation of the new abbreviation “CSI 500 Enhanced ETF Huatai-PineBridge” (561550), all ETF products under Huatai-PineBridge will be uniformly renamed, completing the “ETF Huatai-PineBridge” brand matrix, making it easier for investors to quickly identify their featured products.

As one of the first ETF managers in the market, Huatai-PineBridge has been deeply engaged in index investment for nearly 20 years, creating the market’s first dividend-themed ETF and the first cross-market ETF, the CSI 300 ETF Huatai-PineBridge. By the end of 2025, the company’s ETFs have generated over 164 billion yuan in cumulative profits for holders in the past two years, making it one of only four fund companies in the same period with cumulative profits exceeding 100 billion yuan; regarding fees, 77.8% of the company’s ETF assets adopt the lowest fee structure among market equity index funds (management fee 0.15% per year + custody fee 0.05% per year).
