The market for HS300 equity index comprises index futures and various ETFs which are growing rapidly.This paper explores the impact of multi-market trading on the price discovery process of HS300 index.We find that: The index futures contribute the most to price discovery,followed by the Huatai Bairui ETF which allows a cash redemption.Jiashi ETF (which allows in-kind redemption only) contributes the least to price discovery,which is not consistent with our intuition.Furthermore,we show that volatility,instead of liquidity,as would be conjectured by the transaction-costs hypothesis,is the driving factor for relative price leadership between the index futures market and ETF markets.Finally,some advice which helps improve the multi-level index in China Securities Market has been suggested according to the research conclusion.
