TREE NEWS update: The Shanghai Stock Exchange and China Securities Index Co. will officially launch two new indices on Sept 29, 2026: the SSE Innovative Drug STAR Market Leading Index and the SSE STAR Market Software Services Index. The innovative drug index will select 40 high-R&D, high-growth listed drug companies from the STAR Market and SSE Main Board, with increased weighting for STAR Market constituents.
Shanghai Stock Exchange to Launch Innovative Drug and Software Services Indices on Sept 29, 2026
AI take
The design choice matters more than the launch itself: pulling innovative drug names from both the STAR Market and the Main Board, while overweighting STAR constituents, effectively creates a benchmark that tilts toward the exchange's own growth board. For the software services index, the signal is that the SSE is building out sector-specific gauges for segments it wants tracked separately from broad tech. The practical question is whether these indices attract product wrappers such as ETFs, since without linked funds their market impact stays largely symbolic.
