“Only a fraction [of mainland Chinese investors] has opened accounts and actively trade Hong Kong stocks. But when I look at the pattern of those already participating in the Hong Kong market, I can see they are exploring more diversified opportunities,” Chan says in an interview with The Edge Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur.
Bonnie Y Chan, CEO of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX), admits to checking how the Hong Kong market is doing “perhaps more frequently” than she needs to.
That is perhaps a reflection of HKEX’s desire to reinforce market competitiveness and resilience while being a “super connector” as it seeks strategic collaborations with other stock exchanges to build a rich, multi-asset ecosystem that can satisfy the diversification needs of global investors increasingly looking to Asia and mainland Chinese investors seeking cleverly curated investment alternatives for wealth creation.
