HKEX's first Tech 100 ETF begins trading

The benchmark covers AI, biotechnology, internet, robotics, and electric vehicles.

E Fund Management (Hong Kong) has launched the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking the HKEX Tech 100 Index, with the product listing on Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX).

The ETF, which trades under stock code 3456, gives investors exposure to 100 Hong Kong-listed technology companies across six sectors.

These include artificial intelligence, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, electric vehicles and smart driving, information technology, the internet, and robotics.

The HKEX Tech 100 Index—launched on 9 December 2025—uses free-float-adjusted market capitalisation weighting, caps individual constituents at 12%, and undergoes semi-annual reviews with a fast-entry mechanism for eligible companies.

Bonnie Y. Chan, CEO of HKEX, said the listing marked the first ETF based on an HKEX-branded index.

“This ETF … combines a representative Hong Kong technology benchmark with a widely accessible investment vehicle, supporting investors in diversifying their portfolios and accessing the growth opportunities offered by Hong Kong-listed technology companies,” Chan said.

Liu Xiaoyan, Chairperson of E Fund Management Co., Ltd., said the ETF would provide global investors with access to technology companies listed in the region.

The ETF is denominated and traded in Hong Kong dollars and was launched with an initial offer price of $7.80 per unit and a board lot size of 100 units.
