China’s commodity ETF sector is experiencing remarkable growth, with the country’s gold ETF market demonstrating explosive momentum in recent weeks. The total assets managed across 14 gold ETFs in the domestic market have now crossed the 260 billion yuan threshold, representing a near threefold expansion compared to the same period last year.

Huaan Gold ETF Breaks 100 Billion Yuan Barrier

According to reports from Zhitong Finance on January 18th, the Huaan Gold ETF—China’s largest commodity ETF by scale—achieved a historic milestone when its assets reached 100.762 billion yuan after market close on January 14th. This marked the first time any commodity ETF in the country surpassed the 100 billion yuan mark. The momentum continued unabated, with the fund’s assets climbing to 101.181 billion yuan by January 15th, demonstrating sustained investor demand for gold-denominated products.

Rapid Expansion Across China’s Gold ETF Sector

The impressive performance of individual funds reflects broader trends in the gold ETF category. With 14 gold-focused ETFs now managing over 260 billion yuan collectively, the sector has attracted significant capital inflows. This near tripling of total assets within a single year underscores the surging appetite among Chinese investors for commodity ETF vehicles as core holdings or diversification strategies. The rapid scaling of these products highlights growing confidence in gold as both a portfolio stabilizer and inflation hedge within the country’s investment landscape.
