Three exchange-traded funds tracking cross-border indices were listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Monday, marking the first such offerings in the SAR.
On Monday, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange added three new exchange-traded funds that track cross-market benchmarks: the HKEX Tech & US Tech 100 Index, the HKEX Bursa Malaysia Large Cap Index, and the HKEX KRX Semiconductor Index.
