Solactive has announced its latest collaboration with E Fund Management (Hong Kong) Co., Limited (“E Fund HK”), marking E Fund HK’s first ETF partnership with Solactive.
The newly launched E Fund (HK) Solactive Global Gold Miner Select Index ETF tracks the Solactive Global Gold Miner Select Index, providing exposure to globally listed companies engaged in gold mining activities, with a defined allocation to Hong Kong-listed miners.
Solactive writes that the launch takes place amid continued market attention on gold, which is often referenced as a defensive asset class during periods of geopolitical uncertainty and heightened volatility in global equity markets. In parallel, evolving listings and ongoing developments within the gold mining sector, including in Hong Kong, have contributed to the sustained interest in this segment of the equity market.
The Solactive Global Gold Miner Select Index comprises 30 companies engaged in gold mining activities, selected from global exchanges including the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, Australian Securities Exchange, and Toronto Stock Exchange. Hong Kong-listed constituents must be eligible for Southbound Trading under the Shanghai–Hong Kong or Shenzhen–Hong Kong Stock Connect programs and collectively account for 65% of the index weight. Companies are selected based on industry classification and ranked by free-float market capitalisation, with individual constituent weights capped at 15 per cent.
The ETF was listed on 30 January 2026 on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange(HKEX) with the ticker code “2824.HK”.
Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, says: “We are delighted to join forces with E Fund Management (Hong Kong) on their first ETF project with Solactive’s index. This collaboration not only underscores our shared ambition to deliver innovative, high-quality indexing solutions, but also reflects the growing dynamism of Hong Kong’s ETF market. We look forward to supporting E Fund’s continued growth in the region with tailor-made strategies that connect global themes with local investor needs.”
Sharon Wang, CEO of E Fund HK, says: “We are very pleased with the successful launch of the E Fund (HK) Solactive Global Gold Miner Select Index ETF. As currently the only gold miner ETF in Hong Kong, this product allows customers to capitalise on the global gold mining sector amid a shifting market environment nowadays. Gold stocks offer exposure to both gold price fluctuations and gold mining industry, enhancing portfolio diversification. We believe this ETF will provide Hong Kong investors with more nuanced and forward-looking asset allocation options.”
