The ETF will provide investors access to the growth potential of the technology sector through a range of diversified and representative technology related stocks and technology-themed investment options.

Clifford Chance advised on the establishment of the ETF, preparation of the offering documents, assisted with the authorisation process with the Securities and Futures Commission and the listing process with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Partners Mark Shipman and Rocky Mui led the deal with support from Susie Wang, Matthew Wan, Cecilia Chung and Belle Lam.

Rocky offered, “This is the new Tech index in Hong Kong recently established and is set to be one of the market’s most important technology flagship indexes. We are proud to have advised Hang Seng Investment Management on the launch of the ETF and also to help advance the development of the ETF market in Hong Kong and provide investor access to the tech sector which has become increasingly important during, and post, COVID-19.”
