Index investing is becoming a new trend, with high-net-worth individual clients participating in ETF IPOs in large numbers.

In recent years, with the popularization of passive investment and the abundance of index tools such as ETFs, more and more individual investors choose to participate in the market through ETFs. A review by reporters found that in the first half of this year, many individual investors with large capital appeared frequently in the top ten list of holders before the initial subscription of ETFs, including individuals who subscribed for amounts exceeding 50 million yuan. Reporters from China Securities Journal learned that under the industry's unwritten rule of "re-debuting ETFs", some high-net-worth individual investors have become one of the sources of funds to help with the initial offering of ETFs. In addition, for various reasons, some private equity funds may also participate in ETF allocation or provide liquidity market-making services in a disguised form. Overall, with the enrichment of ETF tool supply and the popularization of index investments, more and more individual investors are transitioning from individual stock investing to index investing, marking a shift from "selected individual stocks" to "leveraging professional tools" in individual investments.
