BEIJING, Jan 17 (Reuters) - China AMC Fund Management Co said on Wednesday it would temporarily suspend trading of the Nikkei 225 ETF fund on Jan. 17.

The secondary market price of the ETF is significantly higher than net reference value of the fund's shares, resulting in a substantial premium, it said in a statement.

"Investors are advised to pay attention to the secondary market trading price premium risk and may suffer significant losses if they invest blindly," the statement added.
