 What is HSI ETF?


TRACK INDEX PERFORMANCE
The HSI ETF invests in the constituent stocks of the Index in substantially the same weightings as those stocks have in the Index. Hence, investors can have the opportunity to receive investment returns that track, as closely as practicable, the performance of the Index by holding the HSI ETF.
DIVERSIFICATION
HSI ETF represents an investment portfolio, which helps its investors to indirectly invest across a basket of 42 constituent stocks of the Index for diversification and risk reduction.
TRADE LIKE LISTED SHARES
Trading of HSI ETF Units is as convenient and flexible as trading of shares listed on the SEHK. Investors can trade HSI ETF Units anytime during trading hours of the SEHK.
HIGH TRANSPARENCY OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The fund manager of HSI ETF primarily adopts a replication strategy and the HSI ETF invests in the constituent stocks of the Index in substantially the same weightings as those stocks have in the Index. Information on the constituent stocks of the Index is public information which investors can easily obtain. Generally speaking, unlike traditional actively managed investment fund, the fund manager of HSI ETF does not select stocks or investment instruments based on their own investment judgement. Hence, the investment portfolio of HSI ETF is comparatively more transparent than that of the traditional actively-managed investment fund.
LOWER INVESTMENT AMOUNT
The board lot size of the HSI ETF is 100 Units. Assuming that the Hang Seng Index is at 18,000, each Unit of HSI ETF would be traded at around HK$180 and it would cost around HK$18,000* to buy 1 board lot of HSI ETF Units. Hence the cost per board lot is approximately the same as the level of the Index which is easy to remember.
LOWER TRANSACTION COSTS
The transaction cost of HSI ETF Units is comparatively lower than that of the traditional investment fund. Investors only need to pay brokerage and securities trading fees when they trade HSI ETF Units.

* This is only a rough approximation and is for reference only (brokerage and other transaction fees not included). The actual proportion may vary due to market demand and supply for the Units, as well as other factors. The Manager, Hang Seng Investment Management Limited, shall not be liable for such rough approximation.
