Hong Kong launches new cross-market semiconductor and technology ETFs

A new wave of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has launched on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, featuring several cross-market index products. Notably, the Bosera HKEX-KRX Semiconductor Index ETF (code: 03516) officially began trading on September 24, 2026. This product is the first to track the joint semiconductor index developed by the Hong Kong and Korea Exchanges, providing investors with exposure to Hong Kong-listed semiconductor companies and the top 15 semiconductor leaders listed on the Korea Exchange.

In addition to the semiconductor fund, other new listings include ETFs tracking Malaysian large-cap stocks, US and Hong Kong technology indices, and various thematic funds covering robotics, metals, and AI. These new products represent a milestone for the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's index business, aiming to enhance cross-border financial innovation and provide more diverse asset allocation tools for both retail and institutional investors.
