China Securities Journal, August 1 – Huatai-PineBridge Fund announced that its CSI General Aviation Theme ETF is scheduled for sale from August 13 to August 25, with the extended securities abbreviation "General Aviation ETF" and subscription code 563323.

It is understood that the low-altitude economy generally refers to a comprehensive economic model that relies on low-altitude airspace, driven by various civil manned and unmanned aircraft operations, and radiates to promote integrated development across related fields. From 2021 to 2023, China's low-altitude economy industry scale grew from 291.1 billion yuan to 506 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 31.84%. It is projected to further expand to 3.5 trillion yuan by 2035.

The newly announced General Aviation ETF (Subscription Code: 563323) precisely targets leading companies in the low-altitude economy and general aviation industry chain by tracking the CSI General Aviation Theme Index (Index Abbreviation: General Aviation). Specifically, it has three key highlights:

1. High-Purity Exposure to the Low-Altitude Economy Industry Chain
   Among its constituents, 20 stocks are core targets in the low-altitude economy concept sector, with a cumulative weight of 53.96%, deeply tied to the industry chain.

2. Gathering Leading Stocks with Strong R&D Capabilities
   Beyond the main board, nearly half of the constituents are innovative and R&D-driven segment leaders from the ChiNext (25.4%) and STAR Market (16.2%). As of the end of 2024, the average R&D expenditure of the 50 constituent stocks accounted for 13.79% of revenue, significantly higher than the ChiNext's overall level of 7.97%.

3. Significant Historical Outperformance of the Index
   Benefiting from solid fundamentals of its constituents and the dual resonance of policy support and technological upgrades, the CSI General Aviation Theme Index surged 44.66% over the past year (July 30, 2024 – July 30, 2025), demonstrating stronger resilience compared to traditional indices like CSI National Defense (25.08%) and CSI Aerospace (38.41%), as well as outperforming Wind Low-Altitude Economy Theme (27.35%) and Wind General Aviation Index (29.59%).

Huatai-PineBridge Fund stated that under the policy direction of "technological self-reliance" and "leading new quality productivity development through innovation," the A-share market is entering a major cycle of tech investment.

However, for ordinary investors, due to the numerous sub-sectors and dynamic competitive landscape within this field, utilizing the General Aviation ETF (Subscription Code: 563323) to one-click invest in low-altitude economy and general aviation leaders may help diversify risks from single-sector or single-stock volatility while capturing the growth dividends of innovation and collaborative development in the industry chain.
