How to Invest

Individual Investors
TraHK is flexible and easy to trade. Investors can buy and sell them like shares during Hong Kong trading hours, typically through a stock broker or a bank. The board lots size for TraHK is 500. Investors can also employ traditional share trading techniques including stop orders, limit orders and margin purchases (if available).
To begin investing in TraHK through a monthly stock investment program, please contact your bank or broker. There are two advantages of this strategy; firstly, it removes the guesswork and is relatively inexpensive as many banks or brokers offer this type of plan from as little as HK$1,000 per month; secondly, it also encourages discipline and regular saving.
By investing in an MPF that holds units in TraHK, you may benefit from the diversification that comes from investing in a wide range of Hong Kong-listed companies. It may also be a cost-effective option with TraHK's relatively low management fees, which is particularly important as annual charges can make a big difference to your returns over time.

Should the counterparty default, this collateral pool, or assets held, should provide safety for investors in the ETF.
The difference in the performance of a fund as compared to its benchmark. Passive management attempts to minimise tracking error by replicating the benchmark as closely as possible. It is referred to as tracking error even when the fund has outperformed its benchmark.

FAQ

General Questions
TraHK was the first Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) of its kind to be listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK). The Fund holds a portfolio of shares designed to provide investment results that closely correspond to, or track, the performance of the Hang Seng Index (Index).

By buying or selling Units of TraHK, investors will effectively be able to trade an entire portfolio of shares (Index Shares), representing the Hang Seng Index constituent companies, in a single transaction. You should note however that TraHK is not like a typical unit trust offered to the public in Hong Kong. The prospectus contains details of these differences.
The Hang Seng Index ("Index") was launched on 24 November 1969 and is one of the earliest stock market indices in Hong Kong. Also known as the Hong Kong Blue Chip Index, the Index measures the performance of largest and most liquid companies listed in Hong Kong.
Please click here for information about the companies included in the Hang Seng Index. If you require additional information relating to the individual companies, please contact your financial advisor.
Prospectus is an important document which provides details on the fund, its investment objectives, methods of achieving those objectives, fees, and other important information which may be necessary for investors to evaluate when assessing an investment into the fund.

The Prospectus may be collected free of charge from Hang Seng Investment Management Limited, whose address is 83 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong or from State Street Bank and Trust Company, whose address is 68/F, Two International Finance Centre, 8 Finance Street, Central, Hong Kong. The Prospectus can also be downloaded in PDF format on this TraHK website. Please note that the distribution, possession or circulation of the Prospectus and the offering of Units may be restricted in certain jurisdictions and accordingly persons into whose possession the offering document comes are required to inform themselves about and to observe such restrictions.

The dividend amount distributed to you will depend on TraHK’s income and expenses during the period for which the dividend is payable. Income received by TraHK will include dividends paid on the Shares of the Hang Seng Index constituent companies which TraHK holds. It is intended that dividends will be paid twice-yearly (May and November of each year). However, if the income received by TraHK is not sufficient to cover TraHK's ongoing expenses, TraHK will not pay dividends. You should also note that if you have Units registered in your name (i.e. you hold the Unit certificates) you will be charged an annual registrar charge which currently amounts to HK$ 40 every six months. This amount will be deducted from any dividend paid to you.
A Unit Trust is a collective investment vehicle structured as a Trust. Investors' contributions to the Trust are pooled to enable those investors to participate in all the investments of the Trust.
TraHK is not like a typical Unit Trust offered to the public in Hong Kong because, among other things, Units may not be redeemed for cash and Units may only be created and redeemed in one million unit sizes through designated Participating Dealers. However, Units are designed to be traded on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (SEHK) like a normal listed share. Please refer to the Prospectus for details.

A Participating Dealer is any broker or dealer who has entered into a Participation Agreement with the Trustee, the Manager, Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited and HK Conversion Agency Services Limited regarding arrangements for the issue of Units for Index Shares and for the redemption of Units. The Participating Dealer creates fund Units in large increments known as creation units by assembling the underlying securities of the fund in their appropriate weightings to reach creation unit size and then delivering those securities to the fund in-kind. In return, the Participating Dealer receives fund Units which are then introduced to the secondary market where they are traded between buyers and sellers through the exchange.

Please refer to Participating Dealers List for more details. This list is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change from time to time.
The term "redeem", in relation to a normal Unit Trust, means the sale of your Units back to the Manager of the Trust (who might then cancel the Units or resell them to a new investor at the prevailing net asset value). Typically, there is a relatively low minimum redemption size and a redemption/exit fee may or may not be payable. For more information, see questions below regarding redemption of TraHK Units.
The process of redeeming Units for Index Shares is called "redemption". However, the redemption process is used almost exclusively by large institutions rather than retail investors and will only be available through a limited number of designated List of Participating Dealers. You should note that you would need one million Units in order to redeem your Units for Index Shares in the form of an Index Basket. No cash redemptions will be permitted.

The normal way for investors holding less than one million Units to sell their Units will be on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong via a broker at any time during the trading day.
No cash redemptions will be permitted, but you can place an order to sell your Units on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong via a broker at any time during the trading day like any normal share listed on the Stock Exchange.
No. The minimum redemption amount is one million Units. The normal way for investors holding less than one million Units is to place an order to sell their Units on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong via a broker at any time during the trading day.
Yes, if you satisfy the criteria for redemption, (e.g. being a participating dealer yourself and more than one million Units), the Index Shares you receive as proceeds of redemption can be sold on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong like any other listed share. Ownership is transferred to you in the redemption process. Please note that no cash redemption will be permitted.
