# Funds are pouring into the high-dividend sector of Hong Kong stocks, experts warn to be cautious of two major investment traps

> In the first quarter of this year, the Hong Kong stock market performed strongly, with the Hang Seng Index rising by 15.25%. Against the backdrop of global capital market turmoil, institutions recommend that investors focus on high-dividend companies for stable returns. However, experts warn investors to be cautious of the "high dividend traps," including "dividend traps" and "valuation traps." Dai Kang from GF Securities pointed out that the high-dividend strategy in Hong Kong stocks is more advantageous compared to A-shares and U.S. stocks, but careful identification of genuine high-dividend varieties is necessary

The explosive growth of the Hong Kong stock market in the first quarter of this year is noteworthy, with the Hang Seng Index rising by as much as 15.25%. However, as the global capital markets enter a period of turmoil, uncertainty has significantly increased since the second quarter. In this environment, many institutions and brokerages are advising investors to seek "safe havens" during market fluctuations, turning their attention to high-dividend companies with stable profit expectations, and using these assets as a core allocation to obtain relatively certain dividend income. However, several experts also warn to be cautious of the "high dividend trap." Dai Kang, Managing Director and Chief Asset Research Officer of GF Securities Development Research Center, believes that compared to the A-share and U.S. stock markets, the high-dividend strategy in the Hong Kong stock market performs more prominently and is a long-term winning strategy. However, traditional high-dividend investment methods can lead to two major traps, including the "dividend trap" and the "valuation trap," which need to be identified to select truly high-dividend varieties.
