Hang Seng TECH Index Options

Introduction

The Hang Seng TECH Index (“the Index”) was launched on 27 July 2020 and tracks the 30 largest technology companies listed in Hong Kong. According to back-testing data, it has increased by 36% in 2019 and 60% in the first 10 months of 2020.

The Hang Seng TECH Index Futures and Options are the first exchange-traded derivatives contracts to track the Index. They complement HKEX’s flagship Hang Seng Index and Hang Seng China Enterprises Index products, providing investors with a new tool to manage risks in their exposures to Hong Kong-listed technology companies.
