Value Partners Unveils World's First Active Printed Circuit Board ETF in Hong Kong

Value Partners Group has launched the Value Partners Printed Circuit Board Active ETF on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, introducing what it describes as the world's first actively managed ETF dedicated to the printed circuit board (PCB) ecosystem. The fund invests in companies across the PCB supply chain, which is largely concentrated in Asia, targeting opportunities arising from growing demand for advanced AI hardware. As AI servers become more sophisticated, increasingly complex PCB manufacturing requirements are creating opportunities for companies with advanced production capabilities and technological expertise. The launch follows Value Partners' introduction of an optical communications-focused active ETF two weeks earlier, further expanding its AI infrastructure offering. The new ETF trades in Hong Kong dollars and carries ongoing charges of 1.5%, including a 0.99% management fee.
