The CSI 300 tracks the 300 largest and most liquid stocks listed on both the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges. It is the more representative benchmark for Chinese equities compared to the SSE Composite.

Why It Matters

The CSI 300 covers a broader range of sectors and includes high-growth tech and consumer companies from the Shenzhen exchange. Many international ETFs and derivatives are tied to this index.

Market Impact

CSI 300 is the primary reference for foreign investors assessing Chinese equity markets. MSCI China and other global indices increasingly align with CSI 300 components.
