Wind data shows that by the end of the first quarter, the total market ETF size was approximately 4.99 trillion yuan, a decrease of about 1.03 trillion yuan compared to the end of last year. Although broad-based varieties became the main drag, some companies still achieved counter-trend growth. Among them, Haitong Fund's scale increased by over 30 billion yuan in the first quarter, ranking first in the industry; Guotai Fund's increase exceeded 16 billion yuan, successfully surpassing a total scale of 300 billion yuan; Yongying Fund's increase was over 14 billion yuan, ranking third. From the product side, ETFs themed on power grid equipment, short-term bonds, gold, and satellite communication became the main direction of capital inflow, replacing traditional broad-based varieties, indicating that investors' preferences are accelerating towards segmented tracks and safe-haven assets in a volatile market.
