On December 19, Fullgoal Fund and China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) jointly hosted the launch ceremony of the CSI Select Shipbuilding Industry Index ETF in Shanghai. The event, themed "Setting Sail on a New Journey, Charting the Ocean Dream," brought together representatives from CSSC, Shanghai Stock Exchange, Industrial Bank, AVIC Securities, Guotai Junan Securities, Shenwan Hongyuan Securities, CSI Index Company, and Shanghai Maritime Bureau, along with industry leaders witnessing the debut of China's first shipbuilding-themed ETF (Subscription Code: 560713; Fund Code: 560710).
Fullgoal Fund Chairman Pei Changjiang emphasized that this pioneering index fund not only represents financial innovation but also serves as a practical tool to channel capital into national strategic sectors through standardized index products.
CSSC Executive Vice President Peng Yuanpu highlighted that the shipbuilding industry—a cornerstone for China's manufacturing, transportation, maritime, and technological advancement—is entering a historic growth phase. The ETF marks the first time China's shipbuilding value is directly linked to capital markets via transparent, standardized financial instruments.
During panel discussions, AVIC Securities Chairman Qi Xia noted the ETF aligns with industrial trends and investor demand, offering a specialized vehicle to tap into shipbuilding growth while injecting stable capital. Shenwan Hongyuan Vice President Tang Jun added that the underlying CSI Select Shipbuilding Index scientifically transforms industrial potential into investable opportunities.
The ceremony featured an official ETF launch and a keynote by fund manager Su Huaqing, who detailed the index’s methodology, sector coverage, and long-term value. Attendees also toured the century-old Jiangnan Shipyard, gaining firsthand insight into China’s shipbuilding evolution and green transformation.
As the market’s inaugural shipbuilding ETF, this product carries strategic significance. It supports China’s maritime economy ambitions by fostering blue finance competitiveness and directing capital toward sustainable ocean industries. Aligned with China’s 15th Five-Year Plan goals for maritime excellence and equipment manufacturing, the ETF pioneers a "state-owned enterprise + fund" model, merging CSSC’s industrial expertise with Fullgoal’s asset management prowess to bridge investment gaps in this niche.
Moving forward, Fullgoal and CSSC will deepen collaboration to explore innovative finance-industry synergies, fueling shipbuilding advancement while expanding investor access to national strategic dividends.
