On September 15, the Hong Kong stock market marked a pivotal moment: Shein-W was incorporated into the Hang Seng Composite Index and its respective sector indices. Concurrently, the consultation phase for revising the methodology of the Hang Seng Tech Index entered its final stretch. Presently, the Hang Seng Index series is undergoing a series of comprehensive rule modifications. The addition of Shein-W is anticipated to draw capital inflows and enhance market liquidity. Should the Hang Seng Tech Index expand to include 50 constituents and adopt a dual-track stock selection mechanism, as proposed in the consultation, it could significantly transform the landscape of Hong Kong's technology indices, aligning with international practices and market expectations.
