What is the name of the fund established by XPeng Motors?
3 Answers
XPeng Motors co-founded a fund called the Venture Capital Fund. XPeng Motors is a domestic Chinese automobile brand, an internet electric vehicle brand under Guangzhou Xiaopeng Motors Technology Co., Ltd. Below is an introduction to relevant information about XPeng Motors: 1. Form and Relationship: XPeng Motors adopts a contract manufacturing model for production. The component suppliers and XPeng Motors strengthen their ties through mutual investments, and testing and inspection primarily utilize existing social resources to avoid excessive early-stage cost investments. 2. R&D Work: XPeng Motors has completed the first phase of its R&D work, which focuses on the development of a pure electric drive system centered around the motor, battery, and electronic control, as well as the development of an intelligent system centered around the large central control screen, also known as the 'three electrics and one screen.' Currently, prototype vehicles equipped with XPeng Motors' 'three electrics and one screen' have accumulated test mileage exceeding 5,000 kilometers. 3. Core: XPeng Motors' pure electric drive system is centered around the motor, battery, and electronic control. Among these, the motor controller, DCDC, and charger are placed in the front compartment, while the battery system is arranged beneath the floor of the passenger compartment.
As someone who follows automotive industry trends, I noticed that XPeng Motors is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with the code 9868 and on the U.S. stock market as XPEV. However, the company itself does not issue public funds named 'XPeng Fund.' Some third-party platforms may offer 'XPeng-themed funds,' which primarily invest in its supply chain partners, such as CATL and Desay SV, as seen in some brokerage's new energy vehicle-themed funds. These are initiatives by financial institutions and are not officially affiliated with XPeng. For direct investment in XPeng, it's advisable to open a Hong Kong Stock Connect or U.S. stock account.
During my last research on new energy investments, I noticed that XPeng has never officially launched any named funds. The so-called XPeng-related funds in the market are usually industry ETFs packaged by brokers, such as funds tracking the China concept electric vehicle index. If you really want to allocate, it's better to buy stocks directly: use a Hong Kong stock account to trade 9868 in Hong Kong, or use platforms like Tiger Brokers to buy XPEV in the U.S. market. Just a reminder, China concept stocks were quite volatile last year—my colleague who dollar-cost averages their stocks even set a 20% stop-loss line.
