12 stocks in Shanghai-HK bridge to boost equity-market environment
Inclusion of STAR Market stocks in the Shanghai-Hong Kong stock connect program will help further improve the trading environment and spur the country s capital market opening-up, said experts.
Twelve companies listed on the technology-heavy STAR Market on the Shanghai Stock Exchange have been included in the stock connect program from Monday.
In a break with the past, global institutional investors can now invest in these companies from Hong Kong through the stock connect program. Prior to this, foreign investors could buy STAR Market shares only through the qualified foreign institutional investor channel by obtaining a license from the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
