Hong Kong Exchange Introduces Tech 100 Index to Track Leading Tech Firms
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd. (HKEX) has launched the HKEX Tech 100 Index, a new benchmark designed to track the performance of the 100 largest technology companies listed in Hong Kong by market value. This marks HKEX's first independently developed equity benchmark, aimed at expanding its index business. The index, which started with a base value of 10,000 points in December 2020, currently stands at 8,129 points. Additionally, E Fund Management Co. Ltd. has been authorized to launch a mainland-listed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that will track this new index. The introduction of the Tech 100 Index comes amid a significant increase in Hong Kong's ETF market, which saw a record average daily turnover of HK$37.8 billion in the first three quarters of 2025, representing a 145% increase from the previous year.
