On October 8, 2025, Ping An of China Asset Management (Hong Kong) Company Limited (PAAMC HK) announced that its flagship exchange-traded fund, the Ping An of China CSI HK Dividend ETF (3070/9070), has been named the “Outstanding Achiever” in the Hong Kong Equity category of the esteemed BENCHMARK Fund of the Year Awards 2024. This recognition follows the ETF's impressive track record, having secured consecutive “Best Performer” awards for its performance over one year in the Equity – ETFs (NAV Total Return) category from Bloomberg Businessweek in both 2023 and 2024.

Launched in February 2012, the Ping An of China CSI HK Dividend ETF stands out as the longest-running ETF focused on high dividend yields in Hong Kong. It holds the highest rating of 5 stars from Morningstar, indicating its sustained superior performance through various market cycles. The ETF has been part of the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (CIES) for over a decade and has participated in the Southbound-traded Stock Connect Scheme since July 2024, enhancing its appeal to both local and international investors.

The primary objective of the HK Dividend ETF is to emulate the performance of the CSI HK Dividend Index, which was established on July 23, 2009. The index highlights the top 30 securities in the Hong Kong market characterized by high dividend yields, consistent dividend payments, and robust liquidity. This methodology ensures that the ETFs tracked not only reward dividends but also remain accessible to investors seeking potential capital growth amidst fluctuating market conditions.

Mr. Albert Wang, Head of Capital Markets and Chief Investment Officer of PAAMC HK, expressed his excitement regarding this recognition by stating, "It is a great honor to be recognized by BENCHMARK as an Outstanding Achiever. The HK Dividend ETF provides a resilient option for investors looking for income and stability, particularly in the current climate of market volatility and economic uncertainty. We are committed to expanding our offerings with innovative products tailored to meet the evolving needs of our investors."
