New Fee Waivers for Fixed Income and Money Market Exchange Traded Funds transactions
Product diversity is key to building Hong Kong into Asia’s ETF marketplace. To encourage trading in and drive liquidity to fixed income ETFs listed in Hong Kong, both the current trading tariff and the minimum stock settlement fee are now waived for fixed income and money market ETFs transactions.
The fee waivers are effective until further notice. Please see the list of eligible ETFs on the HKEX website or refer to Exchange Circulars ETP/001/21 and CD/CDCO/CCASS/013/2021 for more information.
