Huaan Asset Management Co. aims to attract as much as $400 million in initial funding for one of China’s first two gold exchange-traded funds as a drop in prices attracts buyers in the second-biggest consumer of bullion.

The product, to be listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, will track the performance of spot contracts on the city’s gold bourse, Xu Yiyi, the fund manager who will run the ETF, said in a telephone interview. Shanghai-based Huaan has yet to set a date to market the fund to investors, he said.
