# After experiencing a downward trend in May, Hong Kong stocks finally welcome a reversal! ETF investment, how to seize the market trend?

On March 17, the Hong Kong stock market continued to strengthen overall. The V-shaped reversal of the Hong Kong stock market is the core focus of the current capital market.

After a five-month-long correction, the Hong Kong stock market, especially the Hang Seng Technology Index, has shown a significant rebound since last week. A closer look reveals that sub-sectors such as Hong Kong automotive, Hong Kong chips, Hong Kong internet, and Hong Kong innovative drugs have performed particularly well.

The core logic behind professional research institutions and individuals being optimistic about the future of Hong Kong technology stocks includes sufficient adjustments, strong capital inflows, and significantly improved valuation attractiveness. Recently, the tangible V-shaped reversal market has made many Hong Kong Stock Connect ETFs quickly become "hot cakes" in the eyes of investors.

These Hong Kong Stock Connect ETFs generally support T+0 trading, enhancing investment efficiency; they feature a rich variety of industry themes and a complete range of ETF categories; and they focus on scarce layouts, with many being the "first in the entire market" or unique niche products.

**A Closer Look at Hong Kong Technology: Focus on AI,**

**Computing Power, Large Models, Applications, and Full Coverage**

The core of Hong Kong technology is AI, with an ETF matrix covering the AI industry chain across three major segments: computing power, large models, and applications, making it a top priority in the Hong Kong investment toolbox.

**Hong Kong Information Technology ETF (159131)** precisely positions itself within the Hong Kong chip industry chain and is the first ETF in the market to track the CSI Hong Kong Stock Connect Information Technology Composite Index (referred to as "Hong Kong Stock Connect Information C");

Its underlying index constituents include 45 hard technology companies in Hong Kong, such as SMIC and Hua Hong Semiconductor, with constituents primarily composed of 70% hardware and 30% software. This index does not include large-cap internet companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and Meituan, providing sharper focus.

Following the AI industry chain downward, the AI large models and application end, which will attract more market attention by 2026, presents opportunities for products like Hong Kong Internet ETF (513770), Hong Kong Stock Connect Automotive ETF Hwabao (520780), Hong Kong Stock Connect Innovative Drug ETF (520880), and Hong Kong Stock Connect Medical ETF Hwabao (159137).

**Hong Kong Internet ETF (513770)** is an ETF product heavily invested in leading Hong Kong internet companies. Its underlying index, the CSI Hong Kong Stock Connect Internet Index, includes the top ten weighted stocks such as Alibaba-W, Tencent Holdings, Xiaomi Group-W, Kuaishou-W, and Bilibili-W, which are AI cloud computing, large models, and various AI application companies. As of March 16, 2026, the latest fund size of Hong Kong Internet ETF (513770) exceeds 11.9 billion yuan, with excellent liquidity.

The **Hong Kong Stock Connect Innovative Drug ETF (520880)**, which focuses 100% on innovative drugs, is the first product in the market to track the Hang Seng Hong Kong Stock Connect Innovative Drug Selected Index. Recently, this powerful index completed a rebalancing, increasing the number of constituent stocks to 50, with 13 new constituent stocks coming from AI pharmaceuticals Gene editing, small molecules, dual antibodies, and other popular cutting-edge fields.

The **Hong Kong Stock Connect Automotive ETF Hwabao (520780)** heavily invests in scarce leading automotive companies in Hong Kong stocks, tracking the CSI Hong Kong Stock Connect Automotive Industry Thematic Index. The index constituents include industry-leading new force car companies such as XPeng, BYD, Geely, and Li Auto. The Hong Kong Stock Connect automotive sector has also been a standout in the recent rebound of Hong Kong stocks, showing significant strength among the technology sub-sectors.

The **Hong Kong Stock Connect Medical ETF Hwabao (159137)** tracks the CSI Hong Kong Stock Connect Medical Thematic Index, covering the four major areas of the Hong Kong medical field: CXO, medical business and services, medical devices, and biopharmaceuticals. Over 80% of the weight is concentrated in leading companies in CXO, internet healthcare, and high-end medical devices, with "Hong Kong exclusive" constituents accounting for more than 85% of the weight.

**Supports T+0, higher investment efficiency**

**Wall Street's "big short"** **rarely bullish, funds accelerating** **into Hong Kong**

Due to the support for T+0 trading, these Hong Kong Stock Connect ETFs have strong liquidity and high investment efficiency, especially advantageous in cross-border and industry-themed products.

Recently, the Hong Kong technology sector has frequently received external positive boosts. On one hand, there are reports that Middle Eastern investors who relocated years ago are "returning to Hong Kong"; on the other hand, Wall Street's "big short" Michael Burry expressed optimism about the Hang Seng Technology Index, stating that its valuation is extremely disconnected from fundamentals, presenting a historic investment opportunity.

Industrial Securities stated that the overseas liquidity easing pattern has not changed, and the Hong Kong stock market is expected to welcome opportunities for foreign capital inflows in 2026. The liquidity of the Hong Kong stock market continues to improve, and in the context of AI technological transformation, technology assets are expected to become a core direction for benefiting.

In 2025, southbound funds recorded a net inflow of HKD 1,404.844 billion into Hong Kong stocks. Entering 2026, southbound funds continued to increase their positions in the Hong Kong stock market. Wind data shows that as of March 17, 2026, the cumulative net inflow of southbound funds into Hong Kong stocks since the beginning of 2026 reached HKD 191.161 billion.
