# PolyU survey: Over 70% of surveyed investors made profits in the stock market this year, about 30% are optimistic about future performance

> A survey conducted by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and BRIGHT SMART shows that over 70% of investors made profits in the stock market this year, with 41% indicating an average gain of 10% to 30%. The investor confidence index rose from 69 to 117, reaching a record high. Opinions on the outlook for Hong Kong stocks are divided, with 34% optimistic, 27% pessimistic, and 62% planning to increase their investments. Associate Professor Zhao Jing pointed out that the China-U.S. trade war and domestic stimulus policies are key factors affecting the stock market

Bright Smart Securities and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University survey show that over 70% of surveyed investors recorded positive returns in the stock market this year, with 41% of respondents indicating an average profit margin of 10% to 30%, and nearly 10% of respondents earning over 30%. The investor confidence index significantly increased from 69 to 117, breaking historical highs.

The survey found that investors have a divided outlook on the prospects of Hong Kong stocks, with about 34% of respondents optimistic about future performance, while approximately 27% and 34% of respondents are pessimistic and neutral, respectively. 62% of surveyed investors plan to increase their capital investment, and another 28% of respondents indicated that they would "buy the dip" if the Hang Seng Index retraces to 21,000 points.

Associate Professor Zhao Jing from the Polytechnic University stated that most respondents believe that the US-China trade war and domestic stimulus policies are key factors affecting stock market performance, reflecting Hong Kong's role as a bridge between the mainland and the world, where changes in global political, economic, and military situations will impact Hong Kong stocks
