Solactive has announced its latest collaboration with Korea Investment Management (KIM), marking the launch of the KIM ACE China AI Big Tech TOP2+Active ETF, which tracks the Solactive China AI Big Tech Top 2+ Index.
The firm writes that this product is designed to capture China’s leading innovators across artificial intelligence, digital platforms, and intelligent industrial technologies.
Morgan Stanley projects China to become a global AI leader by 2030, with its core AI industry potentially reaching USD140 billion and achieving a 52 per cent return on invested capital, Solactive writes. This growth, driven by government support and a focus on computing efficiency, could expand the broader AI industry and related sectors -including infrastructure and component suppliers- to USD1.4 trillion.
The Solactive China AI Big Tech Top 2+ Index focuses on two high-impact technology categories: (1) Cognitive Tech & Digital Platforms and (2) Intelligent Systems & Industrial Tech. The index selects 25 companies from each category, ranked by thematic relevance using ARTIS, Solactive’s proprietary natural language processing algorithm.
Eligible companies must be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Shanghai Connect, or Shenzhen Connect, with a minimum market cap of USD2 billion with minimum ADV of USD30,000,000. The firm writes that the ARTIS algorithm ensures that only those with significant AI and tech exposure are included, across sectors such as cloud platforms, smart mobility, semiconductors, and industrial automation.
The top company in each category receives a 25 per cent weight, recognising its outsized influence. Remaining constituents are market-cap weighted, capped at 5 per cent, ensuring diversification while maintaining thematic purity. The index rebalances annually to reflect structural shifts in the tech ecosystem.
The ETF listed on 29th July on the Korean Stock Exchange with the ticker code “0087F0.KS”.
Timo Pfeiffer, CMO at Solactive, says: “China’s ambition to lead in AI and next-generation industrial technologies is no longer a mere vision—it’s embedded in policy, investment, and market momentum. We are glad to collaborate with KIM to provide investors with a structured way to track the leading giants and fast movers driving this transformation.”
