Continuous enrichment of interconnection tools, public offering vigorously expands Hong Kong market ETFs.

While the mainland ETF market is booming, the layout of ETFs in the Hong Kong market is becoming a new focus for public offering institutions. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange recently announced the addition of two new technology indexes - the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Korea Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Technology and US Technology 100 Index. Five mainland public offering offshore subsidiaries have obtained index authorization and will launch related ETF products in the Hong Kong stock market. "Expanding product line layout, serving domestic and foreign investors, and seizing opportunities in the technology industry" have become the common starting point for mainland public offering institutions to layout ETFs in the Hong Kong market. According to the preparation principles for these new technology indexes, after the relevant ETF products are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, they are expected to be included in the scope of the ETF Connect, further enriching investment tools and providing investors with diversified options for allocation. It is worth noting that in recent years, there has been a clear trend of mainland public offering institutions focusing on the Hong Kong market ETFs, with the number of ETFs listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange reaching a historical high in 2025, with over half of them being products under the offshore subsidiaries of mainland public offering companies. This percentage has increased to over 70% for the ETFs listed this year.
