(1) Cancel the total amount limit. Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect has brought more freedom and convenience to investors, and the cancellation of the total amount limit is a big step forward (the total amount limit of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect has also been cancelled). The cancellation of the total amount limit is expected to encourage more institutional investors (especially overseas institutional investors) to participate in Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect.
(2) Covering more stocks. As of July 29th, 20 16, the Shenzhen Stock Connect under Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect covers about 880 stocks in Shenzhen market, including about 200 high-tech and innovative stocks from Shenzhen Growth Enterprise Market, which well complements the investment target of Shanghai Stock Connect. The Hong Kong Stock Connect under Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect covers about 4 17 Hong Kong stocks, that is, nearly 100 small-cap stocks (including the constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Composite Small Cap Index and the H shares corresponding to Shenzhen A shares). The expansion of investment targets can meet the investment needs of different types of investors.
(3) The trading varieties are more abundant. In the future, after Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect operates stably for a period of time and is approved by relevant regulatory authorities, Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect will also be included in exchange traded funds (ETFs) to provide investors with more investment options.
