During the Spring Festival holiday, AI applications experienced intensive catalysts. On one hand, major domestic and international large model developers released new models and products. On New Year's Eve, the "Doubao" platform recorded 1.9 billion total interactions, with users generating over 50 million Spring Festival-themed avatars and more than 100 million festive greetings through activities, demonstrating AI's growing penetration in consumer markets. On the other hand, humanoid robots made large-scale appearances on the Spring Festival Gala stage, with products from brands like Magic Atom and Yushu Technology featured in comedy sketches, martial arts performances, and dance routines, accelerating the public's exposure to embodied intelligence. Multiple indicators collectively suggest that the AI industry may be transitioning from isolated technological breakthroughs to a new phase of accelerated application deployment.
Against this backdrop, market attention on the AI sector has significantly increased, with related thematic ETFs continuing to attract capital inflows. The China Securities Capital Venture Artificial Intelligence ETF Huatai-PineBridge (159139) recorded net capital inflows on 13 out of 23 trading days over the past month, accumulating total inflows of 111 million yuan. This made it the only rare earth thematic ETF in the A-share market with net inflows exceeding 110 million yuan during the same period, driving its fund size and shares outstanding to 442 million yuan and 382 million shares respectively.
Simultaneously, from a global perspective, the "virtuous cycle" effect in the AI industry continues to strengthen. Overseas, OpenAI has updated investors on its long-term plans, targeting approximately 600 billion USD in computing power expenditure by 2030 while advancing a new round of financing exceeding 100 billion USD. Domestically, leading enterprises have also entered a phase of large-scale computing power investment. The synchronized increased commitments from global giants are expected to provide solid support for the sustained transmission of AI industry prosperity.
The China Securities Capital Venture Artificial Intelligence Index, which the ETF closely tracks, represents the first artificial intelligence thematic index that selects stocks across both the STAR Market and ChiNext Market. By extracting the core AI-related components from each board, it combines the STAR Market's strength in hard technology with the ChiNext Market's high growth potential and application vitality, helping investors efficiently allocate to A-share market AI enterprises with distinct technological innovation attributes and outstanding growth characteristics.
Fund manager Huatai-PineBridge, among China's first batch of ETF managers, maintains substantial expertise not only in sector ETFs but also in broad-based and dividend-themed index products. Its "dividend suite" series includes the Dividend ETF Huatai-PineBridge (510880), Low Volatility Dividend ETF Huatai-PineBridge (512890), Hong Kong Connect Dividend ETF Huatai-PineBridge (513530), Central Enterprise Dividend ETF Huatai-PineBridge (561580), and Hong Kong Connect Low Volatility Dividend ETF Huatai-PineBridge (520890), potentially serving as defensive options in a "barbell strategy" portfolio.
