Following from the launch of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect (Shanghai-HK SC) in November 2014, the Securities and Futures Commission and the China Securities Regulatory Commission made a joint announcement on 16 August 2016 about their in-principle approval for the establishment of mutual stock market access between Shenzhen and Hong Kong (Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect (Shenzhen-HK SC)).
The much anticipated Shenzhen-HK SC is one of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited’s major strategic initiatives to expand mutual connectivity with the Mainland, and is expected to further promote the development of capital markets in both jurisdictions. It is expected to be launched in around November 2016.
In this e-bulletin, our Hong Kong team provides an overview of the key features of Shenzhen-HK SC and compares it with some of the key features of Shanghai-HK SC, which we outlined in our e-bulletin of 1 September 2014.
