Billion-dollar ETF star Hu Jie joins Tianhong Fund

According to data from the Asset Management Association, Hu Jie, the former Index Investment Director at Hua Bao Fund with a management scale of 101.362 billion yuan, officially joined Tianhong Fund on February 24, just 12 days after leaving her previous position on February 12, achieving a quick transition. As one of the most prominent female fund managers in China’s ETF sector, her move has attracted significant industry attention.

Hu Jie joined Hua Bao Fund in 2006 and has held positions in the Trading Department, Product Development Department, and Quantitative Investment Department, eventually serving as the company’s Index Investment Director. Since October 2012, she has managed multiple ETFs worth hundreds of billions, including Hua Bao’s broker, healthcare, and banking ETFs. On February 12, 2026, she resigned due to “personal reasons,” stepping down from all 16 of her managed products at once.

In recent years, Tianhong Fund has continuously improved its ETF portfolio. Since 2025, it has launched 18 ETFs and index funds (5 in 2024), covering areas such as bonds, Hong Kong stocks, and technology. As of February 28, its ETF assets under management exceeded 120 billion yuan, ranking among the billion-yuan club. The company has previously recruited talents like Gao Guixin to strengthen its team and promoted professionals such as Wang Shuai, Hong Minghua, and You Cong to serve as ETF fund managers.
