Matters needing attention

1. To open a Hong Kong Stock Connect account, firstly, you need to open a shareholder account in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets, and secondly, you need to have an average daily asset of 500,000 RMB in the first 20 trading days. General brokers support mobile phone or computer client self-service applications, and do not need to go to the sales counter.

2. Traditional brokers need to go to the Hong Kong counter to submit information in person to open an account. In contrast, it is more convenient to choose an Internet broker to open an account. Just prepare your ID card, passport and proof of address, apply for an appointment in official website, and then directly open an account online or fill out a form at the offline counter to submit the information. These procedures are different for each brokerage firm, and it is necessary to consult the securities company that opened the account.
