According to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the ChinaAMC Solana ETF is managed by China Asset Management (Hong Kong) and will be available in RMB and USD counters.
The ETF is expected to list on 27 October, with each board lot consisting of 100 units and a minimum investment of about US$100, according to HKET.
The ETF’s virtual asset trading platform is OSL Exchange, and the sub-custodian for virtual assets is OSL Digital Securities Limited.
The management fee is 0.99%, while custodian and administration fees are capped at 1% of the fund’s net asset value, bringing the estimated annual ongoing charges ratio to 1.99%.
The ETF will not distribute dividends.
ChinaAMC Hong Kong also manages Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs.
