# The A-share broad-based index has synchronized its pullback, with consistent performance across the A series broad-based indices, as funds counter-trend allocate to the A500ETF

On March 26, the A-share market experienced an overall downward fluctuation, with the "A Series" broad-based indices representing different market capitalization leaders adjusting simultaneously: by the close, the CSI A500 Index, CSI A100 Index, and CSI A50 Index all fell by 1.4%, showing a high degree of correlation among the three broad-based indices.

From the perspective of index characteristics and valuations (data source: Wind, as of March 25, 2026):

CSI A500 Index: rolling price-to-earnings ratio of 16.8 times, with a valuation percentile of 72.0% since its release in 2004, covering 89 sub-industries;

CSI A100 Index: rolling price-to-earnings ratio of 17.0 times, with a valuation percentile of 82.4% since its release in 2006, focusing on core large-cap leaders;

CSI A50 Index: rolling price-to-earnings ratio of 17.5 times, released in January 2024, covering 50 industries, with a prominent style of ultra-large-cap leaders.

From a funding perspective, the A500 ETF managed by E Fund (159361), which tracks the CSI A500 Index, saw a net subscription of nearly 100 million shares throughout the day. All "A Series" broad-based ETFs under E Fund are low-fee varieties.

CITIC Securities believes that, overall, the current A-share market is in the latter half of this round of decline from a technical pattern and sentiment indicator perspective, with limited room for further significant declines; however, external shocks may still trigger phase fluctuations, and the confirmation of the bottom range will require time to create space.

Risk warning: Funds carry risks, and investment should be approached with caution
