Hang Seng Indexes Named Hong Kong’s Best Index Provider for ETFs
Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited (“Hang Seng Indexes”) has been named as the ‘Best
Index Provider for ETFs in Hong Kong’ in the 2016 Triple A Private Banking, Wealth
Management, Investment and ETF Awards, organised by The Asset.
The award recognises Hang Seng Indexes’ leading position for providing index solutions in
Hong Kong. The Hang Seng Family of Indexes currently includes more than 400 indexes that
collectively cover both equity and fixed-income asset classes.
The Company’s indexes are widely used as underlying indexes for index-linked funds and
derivatives. There are currently 44 exchange-traded products tracking the Hang Seng Family
of Indexes, with listings on 17 stock exchanges across the world. As at 31 August 2016,
assets under management (AUM) for exchange-traded products linked to the Company’s
indexes had reached a total of more than US$26 billion. Of the around 120 equity ETFs listed
in Hong Kong, nine are tracking indexes provided by Hang Seng Indexes. These nine ETFs
have a collective market share of more than 60% in terms of AUM.
Mr Vincent Kwan, Director and General Manager of Hang Seng Indexes, said: “We are
delighted to have won this award. It is fitting recognition of our commitment to provide the
market with the most comprehensive set of Hong Kong equity indexes.”
“Hang Seng Indexes will maintain its position among the best index providers for the Hong
Kong and mainland China markets by providing more cross-market indexes to the investment
community. The Hang Seng China AH Index Series was introduced in 2007, comprising the
Hang Seng China AH Premium Index and the Hang Seng China AH Smart Index launched in
2013. These two indexes are widely watched by investors who are looking for an arbitrage
strategy to capitalise on AH share price differences.”
