According to the SSE, this campaign was designed to precisely address the wealth management needs of residents, covering 19 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities across the country, 51 cities, and over 4.1 million participants. Overall, it was characterized by broad service coverage and a strong sense of gain among investors, receiving high recognition and active participation from both investors and market institutions. As of the end of July, the number of ETFs listed on the SSE had reached 719, with a total scale exceeding RMB 3.3 trillion. Among them, the scale of dividend ETFs and bond ETFs had surpassed RMB 140 billion and RMB 370 billion, respectively. Since the beginning of this year, the net capital inflow into ETFs on the Shanghai market has exceeded RMB 400 billion.

An SSE official stated that the Exchange has been vigorously promoting inclusive ETFs—such as dividend, low-volatility, and bond ETFs—through a variety of offline activities. First, it held 29 inclusive-themed promotion events for investors and the media, guiding investors to diversify their asset allocation through ETFs, reduce investment volatility, and enhance their sense of gain. Second, it organized investor field visits to eight constituent companies of inclusive-themed ETFs, enabling investors to gain a direct understanding—from the micro to the meso level—of the construction logic behind strategies such as dividend and free cash flow. Third, it hosted fund advisory exchange meetings to discuss ways of integrating ETFs with fund advisory services, sharing the latest policy concepts.
