As China and Thailand celebrate the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations and the "Golden Jubilee of Thailand-China Friendship," the bilateral capital market cooperation has achieved a landmark milestone—the ChiNext 50 ETF-DR was listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on November 25. This marks Thailand's first depository receipt linked to a China-domiciled ETF and China's first ETF product to venture overseas in depository receipt form.

The ChiNext 50 ETF-DR introduces the Shenzhen-market flagship ChiNext 50 Index to Thailand for the first time, providing Thai investors with a premium tool for gaining exposure to China's new economy. The ChiNext 50 Index comprises a cohort of leading benchmark companies in China's sci-tech innovation sectors, spanning new energy, artificial intelligence, bio-pharmaceuticals, advanced manufacturing and other industries that represent new quality productive forces. These companies exemplify China's integration into the global innovation chain, with the index ranking among the top-performing major global equity indices year-to-date.

SZSE has placed strong emphasis on the internationalization of ChiNext products. In recent years, we have facilitated the listing of multiple ChiNext index products across more than 10 exchanges worldwide, establishing a cross-border product network spanning major economies in Asia, Europe, South America, and beyond, and have preliminarily established an around-the-clock cross-timezone trading ecosystem for ChiNext ETF products. By utilizing the listing of the ChiNext 50 ETF-DR, SZSE will further enhance the internationalization of ChiNext's investor base, amplify the ChiNext story and provide global investors with more accessible channels to participate in China's sci-tech innovation and development achievements.
