Semiconductor ETF Sees Assets Soar by RMB53 Billion Despite 38% Drop in Units, Net Redemptions Hit RMB92 Billion

Deep News07-02

Data shows that as of June 30, the Guolian An Semiconductor ETF (512480) achieved a return of 104% in the first half of the year, with its asset size increasing from RMB201 billion to RMB254 billion. However, the fund's unit count dropped from 13.78 billion to 8.5 billion, a reduction of 5.2 billion units, representing a 38% decline. The net redemptions for the period amounted to RMB92 billion.

Market observers suggest that the phenomenon of some ETF products experiencing surging returns and asset growth alongside a shrinking unit base is primarily due to the rapid appreciation in net asset value, which "masks" the units sold for profit-taking. On one hand, this reflects a profit-taking mentality among some investors who are cashing in on gains. On the other hand, given the high volatility typical of growth sectors, some investors are expressing concerns about future market uncertainty, opting to secure their profits.
