HKEX builds benchmarks for the AI trade
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing launched two proprietary indices on 23 October: an AI index tracking 40 Hong Kong-listed companies across chip design, data centres, infrastructure, models and applications, and a semiconductor index covering the 30 largest listed chip names. The exchange also licensed the AI index to China Southern Asset Management for exchange-traded funds sold in mainland China, extending a push to sell its own benchmarks to onshore investors.
