Solactive has announced its collaboration with Shinhan Asset Management on the launch of SOL China Consumer Trend ETF tracking the Solactive-KEDI China Consumer Trend Index.
Solactive writes that the index is designed to capture the growth dynamics of China’s and Hong Kong’s evolving consumer landscape, reflecting the region’s structural shift.
“China’s domestic consumption has rebounded steadily, supported by government policy that stimulate internal demand and bolster consumer confidence. As spending trends shift toward premium, experiential, and brand-driven categories — particularly in the post-pandemic era, investor attention has increasingly turned toward consumer-oriented companies with scalable business models and strong revenue momentum.”
The Solactive-KEDI China Consumer Trend Index aims to identify and track the 10 highest – scoring, liquid, and fast-growing Hong Kong-listed companies in the consumer discretionary and staples sectors. These include industries such as, specialty stores, restaurants, other consumer specialties, movies and entertainment, food retail, and apparel and footwear—classified according to FactSet standards.
Eligible constituents must meet a minimum threshold of 10 per cent trailing 12-month sales growth. The scoring process combines 30 per cent normalised free-float market capitalization and 70 per cent normalised sales growth, with the 10 highest-scoring companies forming the final index portfolio. Constituents are weighted proportionally to their scores, with individual weights capped at 20 per cent and iteratively redistributed to ensure diversification and maintain liquidity.
The ETF was listed on 25 November 2025 on the Korea Exchange (KRX) with the ticker code “A0131A0”.
Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, says: “We are delighted to collaborate with Shinhan Asset Management on this ETF, which highlights the rising importance of China’s domestic consumption and its structural transformation from export-led growth toward a consumer-driven economy. The Solactive-KEDI China Consumer Trend Index offers investors transparent and data-driven access to this pivotal market transition.”
Yun Ji Cha, ETF Product Strategist at Shinhan Asset Management, says: “We are pleased to collaborate with Solactive on capturing China’s consumer market shift — from the era of Moutai to the rise of POP MART. This ETF reflects the tastes of China’s MZ generation, focusing on innovative, brand-driven companies. As Korea’s only “New Consumption” ETF, it offers investors an exclusive opportunity to participate in the dynamic growth of China’s emerging consumer landscape.”
