NewTimeSpace News — Persistent foreign-investor gloom, a wobbly yuan and global portfolio rebalancing have left the A50 futures nursing eight straight red sessions, diverging sharply from the average A-share price. Ishares Ftse China A50 Etf (02823.HK) slid more than 1% intraday and is heading for a ninth consecutive loss.

Exchange data show the ETF tracks the FTSE China A50 Index, compiled by FTSE Russell in 1999. It selects the 50 most liquid, largest free-float A-shares listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen, representing roughly one-third of total A-share market cap and serving as the key offshore benchmark for international investors.

The index spans financials, consumer, energy and technology; the top-10 constituents account for about 60%. After the September 2025 quarterly review, high-growth names such as BeiGene, WuXi AppTec and Innolight were added, reflecting the benchmark’s dynamic inclusion of emerging leaders.

After a strong year, the futures contract faced profit-taking. Yet following the recent losing streak, buoyant U.S. equities, recovering Chinese concept stocks and a stronger offshore yuan are enticing foreign capital back. Technically, the index looks due for a stabilisation bounce.

HKEX filings reveal JPMorgan has deployed over HK$1 billion this year to buy Hong Kong-listed stocks across new energy, biotech, telecom services and property. Notably, thematic ETFs listed offshore have become a preferred conduit for global funds re-entering China assets, continuing to see steady net creations.
