SYGCN share price on Johannesburg Stock Exchange

The Sygnia Itrix New China Sectors ETF is an exchange-traded fund in the Sygnia Itrix Collective Investment Scheme in Securities, managed by Sygnia Itrix (RF) Propriety Ltd. The SYGCN ETF aims to track the S&P New China Sectors Index which measures the performance of China- and Hong Kong-domiciled companies in consumption and service-oriented industries. All Chinese share classes including A-shares and offshore listings are eligible for inclusion.

Historically, China’s growth has been driven by companies in the banking, natural resources, and manufacturing sectors—many of which are state-owned enterprises. However, as the country’s economy matures, consumption and service-related industries are becoming structurally more important. Since China’s stock market still has significant exposure to these “old economy” sectors, many market participants are seeking alternative index solutions to participate more directly in the country’s fastest growth areas.

Sygnia Itrix New China Sectors ETF is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) since April 20th, 2022. Sygnia Itrix New China Sectors ETF is traded on the JSE under the ticker symbol “SYGCN”.
