Hong Kong IPOs are technically off limits to investors from mainland China, where annual foreign-exchange purchases by individuals are capped at $50,000 and residents must pledge they won’t put the money in offshore securities. While workarounds have existed for years, anecdotal evidence suggests their use has spiked in recent months as investors pile into hot new offerings from the likes of Kuaishou Technology.
