HKEX said it has co-developed and launched the S&P 500 HKEX Tech 100 Index with S&P Dow Jones Indices, combining leading S&P 500 constituents listed in the US and the largest Hong Kong-listed technology companies by market cap. The index, launched on Sept. 30, 2026, is designed to support ETFs tracking it in qualifying for Stock Connect inclusion and to serve as a single benchmark for US–Hong Kong equity allocation, promoting portfolio diversification and cross-market capital flows.
