Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – Huatai-PineBridge Fund Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Huatai-PineBridge Fund) announced on the 7th that, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations and the provisions of the fund contract, and after applying to and obtaining approval from the Shanghai Stock Exchange, it has decided to change the abbreviation of its Huatai-PineBridge CSI 300 Exchange Traded Open-Ended Index Fund (ETF) from “CSI 300 ETF” to “CSI 300 ETF Huatai-PineBridge”, effective January 9, 2026.
Huatai-PineBridge Fund stated that this change in the fund's abbreviation will not have a materially adverse impact on the interests of fund unit holders, and will not involve any changes in the rights and obligations of the parties to the fund contract.
According to data from financial data service provider Wind Information, as of January 6, the Huatai-PineBridge CSI 300 ETF had assets under management approaching RMB 440 billion, making it the largest ETF in China.
Recently, in addition to Huatai-PineBridge Fund, several other fund management companies, including E Fund and GF Fund, have also initiated standardized naming procedures for their ETFs.
In November 2025, the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange issued a document explicitly requiring existing ETF funds to standardize their product abbreviations by March 31, 2026, with the names must include the fund manager's abbreviation.
Pang Yaping, General Manager of the Index Research Department at E Fund Management Co., Ltd., stated that as existing ETFs gradually complete their naming adjustments, product recognition will significantly improve, further reducing investor screening costs. In the long run, unified and clear naming standards will contribute to the in-depth development and ecosystem optimization of China's ETF market, and promote higher-quality development of the fund industry.
