Overview

Can I subscribe for SZSE Securities initial public offering (“IPO”)??

No, Northbound trading investors cannot participate in SZSE’s IPO activities.

 

 

What is the settlement arrangement for Northbound Trading?

Until special banking arrangements are established, investors will only be allowed to trade on the other market on days where Hong Kong and Mainland markets are both open for trading, and banking services are available in both Hong Kong and Mainland markets on the corresponding settlement days. This arrangement is essential in ensuring that investors and brokers will have the necessary banking support on the relevant settlement days when they will be required to make payments.


If a Northbound trading day is a half trading day in the Hong Kong market, Northbound trading will continue until respective SZSE market is closed. Please refer to the HKEX website for the Northbound trading calendar for Shenzhen Connect Northbound trading.

Detailed arrangement is available on the HKEx website https://www.hkex.com.hk/chi/market/sec_tradinfra/chinaconnect/EligibleStock_c.htm
