Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX) & Korea Exchange (KRX) have announced the launch 2 new technology-focused indexes with 1) HKEX KRX Semiconductor Index & 2) HKEX Tech & US Tech 100 Index. HKEX also announced licensing agreements with 5 asset managers to launch related-ETFs (Bosera Asset Management, Da Cheng International Asset Management, E Fund Management, GF International Investment Management & Huatai-PCG Asset Management). Announcement (13/4/26): “Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) is pleased to announce today (Monday) the expansion of its index portfolio with the introduction of two technology‑focused benchmarks: the HKEX KRX Semiconductor Index and the HKEX Tech & US Tech 100 Index. As the first co‑branded index between HKEX and Korea Exchange (KRX), the HKEX KRX Semiconductor Index provides cross‑market exposure to Hong Kong‑listed semiconductor companies eligible for Southbound Stock Connect and to leading South Korean semiconductor names, represented by constituents of the KRX Semiconductor Top 15 Index. The HKEX Tech & US Tech 100 Index tracks the performance of all constituents of the HKEX Tech 100 Index and the 100 largest Nasdaq‑listed technology companies by market capitalisation, including the Magnificent Seven. With weightings of approximately 60 per cent for Stock Connect-eligible Hong Kong-listed companies and 40 per cent in overseas-listed companies, the indices are designed to support the development of exchange traded funds (ETFs) and to be eligible for inclusion under Southbound ETF Connect — enabling investors in the Chinese Mainland to access more diversified cross-market exposure. HKEX is also pleased to announce it has entered into licensing agreements with Bosera Asset Management (International), Da Cheng International Asset Management, E Fund Management (Hong Kong), GF International Investment Management, and Huatai-PCG Asset Management, for the introduction of ETFs based on the two newly-launched indices in Hong Kong, subject to regulatory approval. As Hong Kong welcomes even more technology companies across different industries to list on its vibrant markets, investor demand for related products is becoming increasingly diverse. These new benchmarks are designed to reflect that evolution, offering targeted and diversified exposure to global and regional technology themes, whilst supporting the development of products tailored to different investment strategies and risk appetites. Index methodology and additional information about the HKEX KRX Semiconductor Index and the HKEX Tech & US Tech 100 Index are available on the HKEX website.”
