High-dividend sector performance diverges; Hongli ETF E Fund has attracted over 1 billion yuan in inflows for 11 consecutive days, drawing attention

On April 7th, the high-dividend sector of the A-share market showed a clear divergence pattern. Cyclical industries such as chemicals, coal, and oil performed actively, while traditional sectors like banking and steel experienced a pullback. Closing data for the day indicated that the CSI Dividend Index rose slightly by 0.5%, while the CSI Dividend Value Index and the CSI Dividend Low Volatility Index fell by 0.2% and 0.5%, respectively, reflecting differences in capital allocation among various dividend strategies.

In terms of capital flows, dividend-themed ETFs continued to attract market favor. For example, the E Fund’s Dividend ETF (515180) achieved net capital inflows for 11 consecutive trading days, accumulating over 1 billion yuan in net inflows. Its linked fund shares (A/C/Y classes, codes: 009051/009052/022925) also showed synchronized net capital inflows, indicating that investor demand for low-volatility, high-dividend assets remains strong.

It is worth noting that E Fund has a significant advantage in fee structure for dividend products. All of its dividend ETFs adopt a management fee rate of 0.15% per year, which is among the lowest in the current market for similar products. This fee advantage helps reduce long-term holding costs for investors, especially amid increased market volatility, where low-cost strategies increasingly enhance marginal investment returns.

Market analysts pointed out that the divergence in high-dividend strategies is closely related to industry fundamentals. Sectors like chemicals and coal benefit from expectations of rising commodity prices, while banking and steel face valuation pressures due to fluctuations in macroeconomic data. As the annual report disclosure period peaks, investor focus on dividend stability and yield continues to grow, and it is expected that dividend strategies will maintain a structural trend.
