Overview
The Shenzhen Component Index (SZSE Component Index) is one of China's most important stock indices, tracking the performance of 500 of the largest and most liquid companies listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE). This index is widely regarded as a barometer of China’s new economy — driven by private enterprises in technology, biotech, manufacturing, consumer electronics, and renewable energy.
Unlike the SSE Composite, which includes many state-owned giants, the SZSE Component leans toward innovative and high-growth companies, many of which are privately owned. The index includes key players such as BYD, Luxshare Precision, Wuliangye Yibin, and Mindray, reflecting the transformation of China's economy from heavy industry to tech-driven sectors.
Introduced to better represent the growing role of Shenzhen in China's economic rise, this index appeals to investors looking to tap into the entrepreneurial and tech-heavy side of China's capital markets. As China continues to push for self-reliance in core technologies and domestic consumption, the SZSE Component Index has gained greater relevance for global investors seeking exposure to China's innovation engine.
