Ping An Asset Management (Hong Kong) announced that two of its 'Hong Kong + US stocks' ETF products have been included in the southbound Stock Connect program

Hong Kong, April 24, 2026 Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. ("Ping An Group") offshore asset management platform - Ping An Asset Management (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. ("Ping An Asset Management (Hong Kong)" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that two of its exchange-traded funds (ETFs) - Ping An East-West Equity Selection ETF (Securities Code: 3477 [HKD counter] / 9477 [USD counter])andPing An Technology Selection ETF (Securities Code: 3406 [HKD counter] / 9406 [USD counter])- will be included in the Southbound Stock Connect and available for trading starting May 6, 2026.

The Ping An East-West Stock Selection ETF closely tracks the performance of the Solactive Global Pacific Stock Selection Index (before fees and expenses). This index is a net total return, free-float market capitalization-weighted index, covering a diversified portfolio of securities listed in Hong Kong and the United States. Its performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends and distributions (after withholding tax) from the constituent stocks.

The Ping An Technology Selection ETF closely tracks the performance of the Wind Technology Selection Index (before fees and expenses). This index is also a net total return, free-float market capitalization-weighted index, primarily tracking the overall performance of the largest technology companies by market capitalization listed in mainland China and the United States. The constituent stocks cover industries such as artificial intelligence, internet, semiconductors, smart vehicles, and intelligent manufacturing.

The stock exchanges of Mainland China and Hong Kong announced in April 2024 the expansion of the southbound Stock Connect mechanism to include more ETFs. According to the expanded eligibility criteria, the weighting of HKEX-listed and Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect eligible stocks in the ETF's target index has been relaxed to no less than 60%.[1]The first batch of such ETF products began to be included in southbound Stock Connect trading in 2025.

"The '60/40 ETF' offers mainland investors a new channel to access overseas markets using RMB via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. These two products cater to different needs of investors looking to allocate assets between Hong Kong and US stocks," said Mr. Wang Xinyi, Head of Capital Markets and Chief Investment Officer of Ping An Asset Management (Hong Kong). "The Ping An East-West Equity Selection ETF uses a 'barbell' allocation combining high-dividend Hong Kong stocks with core US blue-chip equities, responding to investor demand for diversified returns and quality growth; the Ping An Technology Selection ETF focuses on leading listed technology companies from mainland China and the US, helping investors capitalize on innovation opportunities driven by artificial intelligence. While balancing growth and stable returns, both products maintain relatively low fees compared to similar offerings."”
