Hong Kong Stock Connect means that mainland investors entrust mainland securities companies to buy and sell shares listed in SEHK within the prescribed scope through the securities trading service companies established by Shenzhen Stock Exchange (hereinafter referred to as Shenzhen Stock Exchange) and Shanghai Stock Exchange (hereinafter referred to as Shanghai Stock Exchange), and report to Hong Kong Stock Exchange (SEHK). After the opening of the Hong Kong Stock Connect, both the mainland and Hong Kong stock markets have been opened, but this method is currently limited to institutional investors and individual investors whose total balance of securities capital accounts is not less than 500,000 yuan. For ordinary investors, there are certain thresholds. In addition, Hong Kong Stock Connect can only buy some Hong Kong stocks and cannot buy all the stocks in the Hong Kong stock market.

Second, traditional brokers open accounts.

Generally, investors who open accounts directly in Hong Kong can invest in all listed stocks in the Hong Kong market, including the Hong Kong Main Board and Growth Enterprise Market, totaling more than 65,438+0,000 stocks;

You can also trade turbines, bull and bear certificates, Hang Seng index futures and state-owned enterprise index futures in the Hong Kong market, buy various funds traded in the Hong Kong financial market, and short some stocks traded in the Hong Kong stock market;

At the same time, many investors can open securities accounts in Hong Kong, and at the same time, they can invest in stock trading in many countries around the world (including US stocks), participate in overseas futures trading (including foreign exchange futures), and buy and sell Shanghai and Shenzhen B shares.

Account opening process:

Preparation materials: ID card certificate, address certificate and copy of bank card.

1. ID card proof: A copy of your ID card or passport is also acceptable.

2. Copy of bank card: copy the front and back of the bank card and sign the copy.

3. Address certificate: the address certificate issued by the property management company, or the monthly statement of personal credit card within three months, utilities, gas bills and other documents that can prove my address.

Steps:

1. Bring the account opening information to the counter of the brokerage business department and fill in the account opening form. You can choose a cash account and a margin account (a margin account is an account that can be used for stock mortgage).

2. Account opening information (copy of ID card, proof of address, account opening form) will be sent to the Hong Kong headquarters by the staff at five o'clock every night.

3. After three days or so, I will receive a confirmation call from the employees of the Hong Kong company. If there is anything wrong or inappropriate in the form, I will also explain it over the phone. If all goes well, I will move on to the next step.

4. I received an email in a few days, which contains account information and password, indicating that the account was opened successfully. According to the prompt, you can trade Hong Kong stocks by remittance.

5. After successful account opening, China Merchants Hong Kong Company will open a trust account in your name at Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong (for fund custody).

Third, Internet brokers open accounts.

There is no need for on-site handling, and only one person's ID card and registration information are needed to open an account online. Compared with traditional brokers, Internet brokers have the advantages of convenient account opening, fast transaction, low commission and friendly trading software. It is suggested that novice mainland investors open accounts in this way. We take Aide Securities as an example to illustrate the specific steps:

1. Register and log in as a one-stop account.

2. Fill in the personal data for identity verification.

3. Select the account type and fill in the employment and financial status.

4. Complete risk disclosure and customer statement.

5. Complete the information verification and sign the account opening letter.

6. The audit was completed and the account was successfully opened.

The above are all the requirements for opening a Hong Kong stock account. Investors who have not yet opened a Hong Kong stock account may open a Hong Kong stock account according to the above conditions. Finally, remind investors to make all kinds of preparations before buying stocks, dabble in financial common sense, financial path and political trends at home and abroad, analyze the operating conditions of listed companies in detail, exercise their strong physique, and let their hearts stand the ups and downs.
