Regulators launch Hong Kong-China ETF Connect following long delays
内地与香港的ETF即将纳入互联互通
Hong Kong and mainland Chinese regulators have announced they finally have come to an agreement for the long-awaited inclusion of exchange traded funds into the Stock Connect programme after years of multiple missed deadlines.
香港和中国内地监管机构宣布，双方最终已经就将交易所交易基金(ETF)纳入互联互通达成一致。外界对此期待已久，但该方案此前多年曾多次推迟。
Initial eligibility requirements have been outlined, including limiting Hong Kong-listed ETFs to those with at least HK$1.7bn ($217mn) in assets over the past six months, and only including products that track indices that primarily track Hong Kong-listed stocks.
初始资格要求已经列出，包括将在香港上市的ETF限制在最近六个月日均资产规模不低于17亿港元（合2.17亿美元）的ETF，以及只纳入标的指数主要追踪香港上市股票的产品。
The China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission said in a joint statement that mainland and Hong Kong investors will be permitted to trade eligible ETFs listed on each other’s exchanges through the use of local securities firms or brokerages.
中国证券监督管理委员会(CSRC)和香港证券及期货事务监察委员会(SFC)在一份联合公告中表示，内地和香港投资者可以通过当地证券公司或经纪商买卖在对方交易所上市的符合条件的ETF。
