Recently, Hong Kong stocks continued to strengthen. After a short period of consolidation, they continued to rise for another 3 days. As of May 13,$Hang Seng Index (800000.HK)$It stood steady at 19,000 points, with a cumulative increase of more than 12% during the year, a record high in 9 months.

Hong Kong stocks continued to rebound, and southbound capital did not slow down the pace of net purchases. On May 13, net purchases of Hong Kong stocks were HK$8.807 billion in a single day. The cumulative net purchase of Hong Kong stocks during the year reached HK$233,662 billion (equivalent to over RMB 210 billion), accounting for 70% of the cumulative net purchase amount last year, and there is a strong desire to raise capital.

Against the backdrop of no significant improvement in fundamentals, the rebound in the Hong Kong stock market is widely regarded as being driven by capital. Southbound capital continued to flow net into the Hong Kong stock market, which played a positive role in underpinning Hong Kong stocks. After April 11, foreign capital poured into Hong Kong stocks sharply, and the two joined forces to drive a strong rise in Hong Kong stocks.

Looking ahead to the future market, some institutions said that the current round of increase in Hong Kong stocks is expected to continue, and it will be$Hang Seng TECH Index (800700.HK)$Gradually switch to high-dividend sectors. In the future, the pricing power for southbound capital is expected to increase dramatically, replacing the style where foreign capital dominates Hong Kong stocks.

Funding is active in going south

On May 13, the Hang Seng Index rose 0.8%, the closing price exceeded 19,000 points, and the Hang Seng Technology Index rose 1.42%.$Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (800100.HK)$An increase of 0.64%. Hong Kong stocks have continued to rise strongly recently, with a cumulative increase of more than 12% during the year, a record high in 9 months, drawing widespread attention in the market.

CITIC Construction Investment Securities said that the core reason for the recent strong rise in Hong Kong stocks is an improvement in capital. In this round of growth, southbound capital played a leading role. Since February, inflows have continued, gradually spreading from the dividend sector to other sectors. Foreign capital poured into Hong Kong stocks sharply after April 11, and resonance with domestic capital contributed to a strong rise in Hong Kong stocks in this round.

BOC International agreed. Hong Kong stocks have continued to rebound since April, and the biggest buyers in the market are foreign investors. From the end of March to the beginning of May, there was a slight net increase in foreign investment.

Looking at the southbound capital flow, the net purchase of Hong Kong stocks in a single day on May 13 was HK$8.807 billion, the highest in a single day since April 17. There are obvious signs of capital rush.

Looking at the whole year, Southbound Capital's cumulative net purchases of Hong Kong stocks reached HK$233.662 billion, accounting for 70% of the cumulative net purchase amount last year. There is a strong desire to raise capital.

The resource sector and the Internet technology sector of the Hong Kong stock market rose one after another, driving a recovery in market trading sentiment. Recently, the Hong Kong stock real estate sector rebounded, compounded by rumors of dividend tax cuts, and the Hong Kong stock market ushered in a second wave of rebound.

Judging from the sector's performance, the information, finance, and real estate sectors had the highest gains in the past 20 days. Since this year, the raw materials, energy, and information sectors have registered the highest gains. Healthcare is still the worst performing sector, with a decline of more than 16% during the year.

Hong Kong-backed funds raise their eyebrows and exhale

The Hong Kong stock market continues to rebound, and ETFs with Hong Kong stock indices that have been losing money for many years have finally experienced a strong rebound.

Looking at the performance of the past 60 days, the Hong Kong Stock Connect Internet ETF, Hong Kong Stock Connect Technology 30 ETF, Hong Kong Stock Internet ETF, and Hong Kong Stock Connect Internet ETF all increased by more than 40%, which is enough to see the strength of the recent rebound in Hong Kong stocks.

Judging from the annual performance of cross-border ETFs, the Hong Kong stock index ETF had the highest increase. The cumulative increase of Hong Kong Stock Connect dividend ETF, Hong Kong stock state-owned enterprise ETF, Hong Kong stock dividend ETF, Hong Kong share state-owned enterprise ETF, and H share ETF traded on the market during the year.

The performance of Hong Kong-backed ETFs weighed on ETFs in European and American markets, making them the best performers in the QDII market this year.

Hong Kong stock ETF trading volume continued to rise. For example, on May 13, Hang Seng Internet ETF had a single-day turnover of nearly $4 billion, while Hang Seng Technology Index ETF and Hang Seng Technology ETF reached $2,914 billion and $2,614 billion respectively.

Some Hong Kong-themed active equity funds have also performed well. Funds with Hong Kong volume, such as Qianhai Open Source Shanghai-Hong Kong-Shenzhen Huixin, Harvest Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen Returns, Huatai Berry Hong Kong Stock Convergence, and Fuguo Shanghai-Hong Kong Premium Assets all increased their performance by more than 20% during the year.

In fact, the Hong Kong stock market has not performed well in recent years. Most investors participate in Hong Kong stock investments through fixed investment ETFs. With the recent rebound in the Hong Kong stock market, the overall losses of investors holding Hong Kong stock ETFs have gradually shrunk. Meanwhile, active equity fund managers are also actively embracing Hong Kong stocks, continuously increasing their positions in Hong Kong stocks at the bottom.

According to the quarterly report disclosed by E-Fangda Blue Chip Select Fund, Zhang Kun continued to increase his positions in the Hong Kong stock market, reaching about 43.99% of the stock positions held through Hong Kong Stock Connect; the first quarterly report of Ruiyuan Growth Value Fund, which was jointly managed by Fu Pengbo and Zhu Yi, showed that the fair value of Hong Kong stocks invested by the fund through the Hong Kong Stock Connect trading mechanism was RMB 3,783 billion, accounting for 20.11% of the net asset value of the fund at the end of the period.

In response to the rebound in the Hong Kong stock market in the first quarter, Qianhai Kaiyuan Shanghai-Hong Kong Shenzhen Huixin Fund said that since the Federal Reserve's statement of change in November 2023, major global markets have performed quite well, especially emerging markets in the Asia-Pacific region, such as South Korea, Japan, and India, while the Chinese market has not been boosted. Combined with the extremely cheap valuation of the market and the full reflection of pessimistic assumptions on the price, the Hong Kong market also showed steady performance compared to A-shares without financial support at the national level.

Referring to the logic of the current rebound in Hong Kong stocks, Zhao Xiancheng, fund manager of the Overseas Investment Department of Bosch Fund, believes that the current round of rebound can be used as a watershed moment. From mid-January to April 16, the market is worried that downward pressure on the Chinese economy still exists, but after the market panic falls, conservative incremental capital from insurance and bank financial management pursues low volatility and cash returns, so allocating undervalued and high dividends. Red chip stocks are relatively superior to the new Hong Kong stock economy at this stage.

The current round of gains in Hong Kong stocks is expected to continue

After experiencing a continuous rebound, how will the future performance of the Hong Kong stock market be interpreted?

Today, Hong Kong is in a period of transformation and transition. Wang Xinchen, fund manager of Harvest Fund, believes that the current general undervaluation and low liquidity will be eliminated as macro-fundamental expectations are reversed in this round. The Internet and other Hong Kong stock technology industries declined after exceeding expectations in 2023. The valuation decline has reached the bottom of history, and is expected to usher in greater valuation flexibility under the reversal of macroeconomic expectations. Currently, the valuation of Hong Kong stocks is still at a historically low level. As of the end of April, the price-earnings ratio of the Hang Seng Index was 9.14, which is the fraction of 16.61% in the last 10 years. From a global perspective, China's assets are extremely undervalued, and investment potential is even greater.

Bosch Fund said that in terms of Hong Kong stocks, the US dollar's suppression of Hong Kong stocks has recently been reduced, risk appetite for Hong Kong stocks has improved, trading sentiment has risen sharply, and southward inflows have improved, and the overall trend will depend on domestic economic stabilization.

Looking ahead to the future market, CITIC Construction Investment Securities believes that the current round of gains in Hong Kong stocks is expected to continue, and the Hang Seng Technology Index will gradually switch to a high-dividend sector. In the future, the pricing power for southbound capital is expected to increase dramatically, replacing the style where foreign capital dominates Hong Kong stocks. The main allocation of Hong Kong stocks this year is still the dividend sector, and the Science Network sector can focus on leading stocks that are improving.

Specifically, Wang Xinchen is optimistic about the return in value of Chinese assets listed overseas. He favors high-quality varieties with good profit models, excellent management, long-term space and competitive advantages, and reasonable valuations and expectations. Focus on the allocation of technological growth assets, mainly focusing on the Internet, software, and other key technology targets in Hang Seng Technology. Most companies are expected to continue to recover in 2024, compounded by small increases brought about by AI, and expected valuations are expected to be further digested.

Xing Cheng, fund manager of Hang Seng Qianhai Fund, is optimistic about three main investment opportunities. The first is high-dividend assets with deterministic shareholder returns, including telecommunications, energy, utilities, and finance. The second is structural industrial opportunities that benefit from the logic of going overseas, including manufacturing and brand sectors in the industrial, NEV, and consumer industries. The third is an opportunity for industrial upgrading under the trend of scientific and technological innovation, including sectors such as TMT and biomedicine.
