By bringing together iconic benchmarks from both markets, the new series provides investors with diversified exposure to companies listed in two of Asia’s leading financial markets. The launch builds on strong equity market performance and robust investor appetite in both Hong Kong and Korea last year. It also supports the expanded Stock Connect programme between Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland equity markets, enabling issuers to introduce financial products that facilitate two-way capital flows across both markets. The inaugural series comprises four cross-market indexes: - [**Hang Seng KRX HK-Korea LargeCap Index**](https://www.hsi.com.hk/eng/indexes/all-indexes/hkkrlc)**:** Combines the Stock Connect version of the flagship Hang Seng Index—HSI SCHK Index (‘HSISC’), with the widely recognised Korean Stock Price Index 200 (‘KOSPI200’) - [**Hang Seng KRX HK-Korea TECH & Semiconductors Index**](https://www.hsi.com.hk/eng/indexes/all-indexes/hkkrts)**:** Captures technology and semiconductors exposure across both markets by pairing the Hang Seng TECH Index (‘HSTECH’) with the KRX Semiconductor Top 15 Index (‘KRXSEMICONTOP15’) - [**Hang Seng KRX HK-Korea TECH Index**](https://www.hsi.com.hk/eng/indexes/all-indexes/hkkrt)**:** Focuses on technology leaders through the Hang Seng TECH Index (‘HSTECH’) and the KOSPI 200 IT Index (‘KS200IT’) - [**Hang Seng KRX HK-Korea Biotech & Healthcare Index**](https://www.hsi.com.hk/eng/indexes/all-indexes/hkkrbh)**:** Targets the fast-growing healthcare sector, combining the Hang Seng Biotech Index (‘HSBIO’) and KOSPI 200 Healthcare Index (‘KOSPI200SECTOR-I1’) Building on this collaboration, HSIL and KRX plan to introduce additional thematic indexes later this year, reflecting evolving investor demand and emerging trends shaping both markets. **Joseph Chan, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government**, said: "This marks the first index collaboration between Hang Seng Indexes Company and an overseas exchange. By forging stronger ties between Hang Seng Indexes Company and Korea Exchange, this initiative enhances cross-border market connectivity, solidifies Hong Kong’s position as an international financial centre, and paves the way for capital inflows to drive sustained growth and innovation in both markets." **Sunghwan Chun, Acting Consul-General of the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Hong Kong**, said: "This collaboration represents a meaningful step in broadening access to the Korean capital market by leveraging Hong Kong as a key international investment gateway. It creates a more efficient channel for global capital to flow into Korea through future ETF development, while further strengthening cross-market connectivity between Hong Kong and Korea. We hope that this partnership will contribute to the continued growth of both institutions and further strengthen cooperation between the two financial markets." **Gilbert Lee, Executive Chairman of Hang Seng Indexes Company**, said: "We are delighted to partner with Korea Exchange to bring together leading benchmarks from Hong Kong and Korea. By delivering Stock Connect-eligible indexes to support cross-market financial product development, we aim to enhance two–way capital flows between the Chinese Mainland and global markets. This initiative reflects our commitment to deepening international market connectivity and reinforcing Hong Kong’s role as a super connector and leading international financial centre." **Buyeon Yi, President of Future Strategy Division, Korea Exchange, Inc**., said: "Korea’s capital market has been undergoing meaningful structural improvements driven by the government’s Value-up programme, enhancing corporate value and shareholder returns. Against this backdrop, this joint index series serves as an effective investment solution that brings together Korea’s key industries with Hong Kong’s global capital access. We will continue to expand our collaboration by developing new thematic indexes aligned with evolving investor demand."
