HKEX与沪深交易所就港股通合资格证券的调整达成共识
香港交易所全资附属公司香港联合交易所有限公司(HKEX)7月17日与沪深交易所就港股通合资格证券的调整安排进行了卓有成效的会谈,并在以下三方面达成了共识:1.互联互通的进一步优化和完善是双方共同认可和努力的大方向,会继续健康稳定地发展。2.会议认为内地投资者对不同投票权架构(WVR)公司还缺乏了解,WVR公司纳入港股通合资格证券需要充分考虑两地市场的发展水准和监管实践。因此,三所将在沪深港通合资格证券现有纳入制度基础上加入一个稳定交易期机制。3.三所已商定成立联合工作组,将尽快研究WVR公司纳入港股通合资格证券的新补充机制具体方案和细则。
HKEX and Mainland exchanges agree on adjusting inclusion arrangements for eligible securities under Stock Connect’s Southbound trading
The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), reached a consensus yesterday (Tuesday) with the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges on adjusting the inclusion arrangements for eligible securities for Stock Connect’s Southbound trading. The agreement is comprised of three points: 1. The three exchanges share the objective of enhancing and improving Stock Connect, with the intention to continue to grow and develop the scheme in a stable manner over time. 2. The meeting acknowledged that as Mainland investors are not yet familiar with weighted voting rights (WVR) companies, there is a need to consider the maturity and regulatory practices of the two markets when including WVR companies in the list of eligible securities for Southbound trading under Stock Connect. An initial Special Stability Trading Period (SSTP) will be required for Hong Kong-listed WVR companies, following which the WVR shares will be included in Southbound trading under Stock Connect if such shares are otherwise eligible for inclusion under the current Stock Connect rules. 3. The three exchanges have agreed to set up a joint working group to formulate the specific programmes and supplementary rules for the inclusion of WVR companies in Stock Connect trading as soon as possible.
