By listing this ETF on HKEX with ICBCUBSI, KraneShares brings Hong Kong investors the underlying strategy behind KWEB, the firm’s flagship US-listed China Internet ETF and the largest US-listed China ETF globally1. The ETF tracks the CSI Overseas China Internet Index, providing exposure to China’s leading digital and technology companies across E-Commerce, cloud computing, fintech, online entertainment, and artificial intelligence.
As China accelerates its global leadership in AI innovation – including large language models, cloud infrastructure, autonomous systems, and next-generation enterprise and consumer applications – many of the companies held within KWEB and this new HKEX-listed ETF are at the forefront of these developments. Key index constituents include Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, Meituan, and other technology leaders shaping China’s digital economy.
Dr. Xiaolin Chen, Head of International at KraneShares, emphasized the significance of bringing KWEB’s long-standing strategy to Asia:
“For more than twelve years, KWEB has been one of the world’s leading China-focused ETFs, providing global investors with a trusted, transparent, and research-driven way to access China’s internet and technology innovators. As demand for high-quality China exposure continues to grow across Asia, bringing this established strategy to HKEX is a natural next step. We are proud to work with ICBC UBS International to make this proven approach accessible to investors locally, especially at a time when China’s digital economy and AI leadership are entering an important new phase.”
As the ETF’s issuer, ICBC UBS International underscored the value the partnership brings to Hong Kong’s ETF market. Dylan Zhang, Head of ETFs at ICBCUBSI, commented:
