The 20 products include seven passive index funds, five equity-biased hybrid funds, three bond funds, three enhanced index funds, plus one FOF and one REIT, the reports said.

Dividend and value styles are also picking up, according to CLS and Jiemian, with index products such as a Yin Hua CSI All Share Dividend Quality ETF, a GF CSI Dividend Low Volatility ETF and an ABC Guozheng Value 100 product appearing in the line-up. [ 1 , 2 ]
Jiemian, citing China Securities Journal, noted that in the third quarter just ended, new fund issuance showed a structural pattern of more products but fewer shares. No figures for that trend were given, and the other documents do not mention it. [ 2 ]
Why it matters
The batch gives a reading on where Chinese fund managers are positioning their product lines after the holiday, with the documents pointing to concentrated technology and growth themes and a parallel pick-up in dividend and value strategies. Jiemian also carries a China Securities Journal observation that third-quarter issuance showed more products but fewer shares, though no figures are given. The published details cover product categories and themes, not fund names or sizes.
