Investors are increasingly turning to Chinese equity derivatives to diversify away from crowded AI trades, with rising demand for call options and swap contracts tied to CSI indices (notably CSI 1000, 300, and 500) and strategic bets on mid- and small-cap exposures. Analysts from BNP Paribas, Bank of America, Barclays, and UBS frame the CSI 500 as an attractive AI alternative amid ongoing reforms and improving hardware earnings, while caution remains about China’s economy and government support.

About CSI 300 Index

The CSI 300 is a capitalization-weighted stock market index designed to replicate the performance of the top 300 stocks traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. It has two sub-indexes: the CSI 100 Index and the CSI 200 Index. Over the years, it has been deemed the Chinese counterpart of the S&P 500 index and a better gauge of the Chinese stock market than the more traditional SSE Composite Index.
