Focusing on key areas such as new-generation information technology, high-end manufacturing, scientific and technological innovation, the Shanghai stock exchange (SSE) has recently worked with China Securities Index Co., Ltd. (CSI) to release and optimize 13 indexes including SSE Information Security Index, SSE Infrastructure Index, SSE Pension Industry Index, CSI Silver Economy Index, CSI High-end Manufacturing Index, and CSI Rural Revitalization Bond Index, so as to further improve the index system, serve the national strategy from various perspectives, highlight investment targets such as new-generation information technology and high-end manufacturing, and better meet the needs of medium- and long-term capital allocation.
Of the 13 indexes released and optimized, there are two in the field of scientific and technological innovation (CSI Scientific & Technological innovation Credit Bond Index and CSI Innovation Theme Credit Bond Index), one in the field of digital economy (SSE Information Security Theme Index), three in the field of advanced manufacturing (CSI High-end Manufacturing & Growth 50 Index, CSI High-end Manufacturing Index and CSI Large & Mid & Small Cap Index Auto Index), two in the field of infrastructure theme (SSE Infrastructure Index and CSI Infrastructure Index), two in the field of pension services (CSI Silver Economy Theme Index, SSE Pension Industry Index), and three in the field of rural revitalization (CSI Rural Revitalization Bond Index, CSI Rural Revitalization Local Government Bond Index, CSI Rural Revitalization Credit Bond Index).
In recent years, the SSE has focused on hard and core technology enterprises, actively integrated into the national development strategy, improved both the quantity and quality of market construction, and continued to build a sound ecology in which investment and financing promote each other. Implementing the new development concept, SSE main board companies have realized the accelerated growth of new dynamic industries and further optimization of industrial structures. Advanced manufacturing industries represented by photovoltaic equipment, wind power equipment, power grid equipment, aerospace equipment and semiconductors reported a revenue growth of up by 31% and a net profit growth of up by 51% in the first half of the year. Relying on scientific and technological innovation, the STAR Market companies have enhanced their development resilience and vitality, with growth in operating revenue and deducting non-net profit of about 30% in the first half of the year. The industry agglomeration effect and market demonstration effect in key areas such as new-generation information technology, biomedicine and new energy become increasingly prominent. High-quality listed companies have provided favorable targets for investment and index preparation.
Around relatively mature key areas such as digital economy, information technology, advanced manufacturing and green and low-carbon, the SSE emphasizes the application and transformation of indexes, accelerates the development of fund products in national strategy-related areas, and promotes the expeditious launch of products tracking the index, so as to better meet the needs of medium- and long-term capital allocation in national strategy areas. Under the SSE's arrangements, the CSI has released 69 indexes in digital economy and new-generation information technology to serve the Digital China strategy and boost the healthy development of the country's digital economy, with a tracking product scale of about 120 billion yuan; released 68 indexes in high-end manufacturing to effectively guide the allocation of market resources to high-end manufacturing industries and promote industrial technological reform and optimizing and upgrading, with a tracking product scale of about 120 billion yuan; released 113 indexes in sustainable development to actively promote the achievement of the " carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" goals and serve climate transition investments. Green indexes of New Energy Vehicle Index, Photovoltaic Industry Index, CSI 300 ESG Index, CSI 300 Carbon Neutral Index, etc. have been successively released, with a tracking product scale of about 110 billion yuan.
Next, under the unified leadership of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, further aligning with the national 14th Five-Year Plan, and with the starting and objective of serving the real economy, scientific and technological innovation and market demand, the SSE will enrich the index system, increase index reserves, expand investment channels, guide medium- and long-term capital allocation, promote the innovation-driven development strategy and high-quality economic development through indexes and index-based investment, and further enhance the influence and competitiveness of local indexes.
