Chinese equities got off to a strong start in 2026, led by the STAR Market. Since onshore trading resumed, the STAR50 Index has risen 9.9% in dollar return, outperforming CSI300’s 2.9% and offshore Hang Seng Tech’s 3%. This extends the strong momentum seen in 2025, when the STAR50 delivered a dollar return of 42.6%, well ahead of CSI300’s 26.3% and Hang Seng Tech’s 24.5%. Policy signals remain supportive. In his New Year’s Eve address, President Xi highlighted China’s progress in artificial intelligence and semiconductors, reinforcing innovation as a core pillar of high-quality economic development. Advances in humanoid robotics, drones, aerospace, and defence were cited as key examples. At the corporate level, the China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund (“Big Fund”) increased its stake in SMIC, the largest constituent of the STAR50 Index, from 4.79% to 9.25%, showing state support for advanced-node capabilities. Among the outperforming stocks, Guobo Electronics rose close to 40% over the past five trading days, following reports that China aims to scale up to 100 rocket launches annually by 2030. As a leading supplier of RF chips and T/R modules, Guobo is a major beneficiary of rising demand for satellite and launch-vehicle communications. AMEC shares also surged after announcing the acquisition of a 64.7% stake in Hangzhou Zhongsilicon, expanding its offering from dry processes into chemical mechanical polishing. Meanwhile, VeriSilicon Microelectronics reported a 130% year-on-year increase in new orders last quarter, driven by accelerating AI chip demand. Against this backdrop, the Premia China STAR50 ETF allows investors to align portfolios with China’s strategic push in advanced technology and innovation through the STAR Market.
