China's first shipbuilding industry index fund launched in Shanghai.

On December 19th, the launch ceremony for the China Securities Smart Select Shipbuilding Industry Index Fund product, jointly organized by CSSC Investment and Fullgoal Fund, was held in Shanghai. Peng Yuanpu, Member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy General Manager of China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited (CSSC); Zhang Ting, Member of the Party Committee and Deputy President of Industrial Bank; and Pei Changjiang, Chairman of Fullgoal Fund, attended the launch ceremony and delivered speeches.

The event, themed "Setting Sail on a New Journey, Together Painting the Ocean Dream," brought together numerous guests from central state-owned enterprise groups, industrial capital, securities companies, listed companies, and partner organizations to witness the official launch of the country's first thematic index fund dedicated to the shipbuilding industry.

During the ceremony, participants engaged in thematic discussions on the deep integration of the shipbuilding industry and capital markets. The China Securities Smart Select Shipbuilding Industry Index Fund (referred to as the "Shipbuilding ETF," code: 560713.OF) tracks the China Securities Smart Select Shipbuilding Industry Index and is scheduled to commence issuance on January 12, 2026.

The launch of this fund represents a significant initiative to implement the national maritime power strategy and promote the high-quality development of the shipbuilding industry. It serves as a key financial product innovation at the transition between the conclusion of the 14th Five-Year Plan and the commencement of the 15th Five-Year Plan, as well as an important exploration in maintaining the market value of central state-owned listed companies.

The collaboration between CSSC and Fullgoal Fund has pioneered a new model of "central state-owned enterprise–fund" cooperation, strengthened the effective linkage between industrial capital and financial resources, and further enhanced the influence and value recognition of the shipbuilding industry in capital markets. Additionally, this fund fills a gap in the capital markets, providing investors with a transparent and convenient investment tool to participate in the development of the shipbuilding industry. It also helps social capital share in the long-term dividends of the shipbuilding industry’s growth and marine economic development.

The launch ceremony was attended by representatives from relevant departments of CSSC headquarters, secondary management units, CSSC system-listed companies, as well as guests from central state-owned enterprise groups, industrial capital, securities companies, listed companies, and partner organizations.
