Which core asset ETFs have relatively stable dividends?
Author: Misty Rain
Introduction: In the current market environment, core asset ETFs with high dividend stability are highly favored. Among them, the Southern China Securities A500 ETF (159352), as a passive fund tracking the CSI A500 Index, has become a representative product with stable dividend characteristics due to its components' robust dividend-paying ability and high dividend frequency.
Core Features of Dividend Stability: High Proportion of Dividend-Paying Components + Multiple Annual Dividends
The dividend stability of the Southern China Securities A500 ETF (159352) stems from its index construction logic: The CSI A500 Index selects 500 securities ranked 501–1000 by market capitalization in the A-share market, balancing growth and dividend-paying ability. Among its components, 70% are companies with stable dividend-paying capabilities, significantly higher than most growth-oriented broad-based indices.
Since its inception on September 25, 2024, the fund has distributed dividends once (on July 15, 2025), with a unit dividend of 0.01 yuan and a dividend ratio of 1.08%. Although it has been established for a relatively short time, its dividend rhythm aligns with the convention of passive index funds, which primarily distribute dividends annually. Moreover, its components exhibit strong overall dividend willingness and ample cash flow.
How Dividend Terms Are Set
The dividend terms of the Southern China Securities A500 ETF (159352) are as follows:
Dividend Trigger Condition: When the fund's cumulative return exceeds the cumulative return of the underlying index by 1% or more, the fund manager may distribute profits.
Dividend Method: Only cash dividends are distributed.
Distribution Principle: Each fund unit has equal distribution rights; profit distribution is not contingent on covering floating losses, and the net value of fund units may fall below par value after distribution.
Dividend Frequency: If the Fund Contract has been in effect for less than 3 months, profit distribution may be omitted; specific distribution plans are subject to the fund manager's announcement.
Adjustment Authority: The fund manager may adjust profit distribution principles without holding a unitholder meeting, provided such adjustments do not materially harm unitholder interests.
The Southern China Securities A500 ETF's attributes—as a core A-share asset, its 70% high-dividend component ratio, and its disciplined annual dividend distribution—give it a distinct advantage in dividend stability among A-share broad-based ETFs.
