JPMorgan Seeks Approval to Launch Active ETFs in China

Active ETFs China expansion is gaining momentum as JPMorgan seeks regulatory approval to launch fully active exchange-traded funds in mainland China.

The move would mark the firm’s first entry into the segment, which remains restricted to enhanced index strategies with limited benchmark deviation.

JPMorgan Asset Management currently manages about USD257bn in active ETF assets globally and sees strong growth potential in the region.

The active ETFs China initiative aligns with the bank’s goal to double Asia-Pacific assets under management to USD600bn within five years.
