17 November 2018 marks the 4th anniversary of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. Stock Connect, the first initiative of its kind, created a brand new model and has achieved great success in the past four years.
As of 15 November, the total turnover of Northbound trading reached RMB8.77 trillion, with a net inflow of RMB614.8 billion; while HK$6.55 trillion was traded Southbound, with a net inflow of HK$812.8 billion.
“In just four years, Stock Connect has become the undisputed platform of choice for international investors seeking access to China’s equity markets, and for Chinese investors diversifying their equity through Hong Kong,” said HKEX Chief Executive Charles Li. “This year, we are proud of the key role Stock Connect played in enabling China’s A-share inclusion in global indices. In the future we expect much greater global investor participation in Chinese equities as a result of this,” he added.
“HKEX will continue to play a pivotal role in connecting China with the rest of the world. Through ongoing enhancements to Stock Connect, close partnership with the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges and our steadfast commitment to innovation, we are excited about our continuing role in the ongoing evolution of financial markets in the region.”
