On July 20, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, GF Fund and China Universal Fund jointly held the CSI 1000 ETF Seminar. Wang Fan, general manager of GF Fund, pointed out in the seminar that the strategic value of deploying CSI 1000 ETF is mainly reflected in two aspects: one is to provide a tool for investing in stocks with small market capitalization; the other is to follow the trend of index investment, build an ETF ecosystem and jointly serve the wealth management business.

The issuance of CSI 1000ETF is a milestone for GF Fund to enhance its ETF business and an important starting point for building a win-win ETF ecosystem.
"GF Fund hopes to let more investors understand the investment value of CSI 1000 ETF, and help investors share the benefit from innovation and development of China's small and medium-sized enterprises." Wang Fan pointed out that in the future, GF Fund will continue to put emphasis on index business, strengthen product management and fund operation, actively build an ETF investment education system for investors so as to provide investors with professional services.
The following are the main points of Wang Fan's speech:
Thanks to the Shanghai Stock Exchange for organizing a special seminar when the CSI 1000 ETF is about to be released. As a fund management company, we must do a good job of this product so as to live up to the expectations inside and outside the industry. The importance of this product is reflected in two aspects:
one is to provide a tool for investing in stocks with small market capitalization. The CSI 1000 ETF we launched this time focuses on investing in high-growth targets with broad industry coverage and more diversified risks. Among them, there are more than 300 stocks listed on the Growth Enterprise Market and the Science and Technology Innovation Board.
Under the background that the China continues to increase support for innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, a group of outstanding enterprises representing China's innovation power will emerge and become a new engine leading China's economic development. We launched the CSI 1000ETF, hoping to provide investors with a good tool for sharing economic growth with low thresholds, low fees, and high liquidity.
At the same time, the launch of CSI 1000 stock index futures and options will enhance the investment value of CSI 1000 ETFs.
The second is to follow the trend of index investment, build an ETF ecosystem and jointly serve the wealth management business. In recent years, with the general trend of indexed investment in China's capital market, ETF innovation has flourished. As of July 20, the size of China's ETF market exceeded 1.46 trillion. ETFs have become an important tool for wealth management. While consolidating its own capabilities, GF Fund actively cooperate with securities companies to build an ETF ecosystem to better serve investors' index investment needs.
In recent years, GF Fund has been committed to exploring a unique development path for index business, and has continued to polish and improve its index business capabilities around key links such as product development, investor education, operation & risk control, etc. First, set up an index research group, bring together macro, strategy, industry and other research forces to jointly discover and create index with long-term investment value; second, strengthen systematic investor education and services; thirdly, strengthen fund operations with the help of technology, and ensure the compliant and stable operation of ETFs.
The issuance of CSI 1000ETF is a milestone for GF Fund to enhance its ETF business and an important starting point for building a win-win ETF ecosystem. We hope to strengthen cooperation with securities companies in fund operation and customer service, and provide more professional services for various investors.
GF Fund hopes to let more investors understand the investment value of CSI 1000ETF and help investors share the benefit from innovation and development of Chinese SMEs.
