What information is included in the English short name of a warrant?

You can learn some basic features of a warrant from its stock short name. Below are the naming conventions for reference.

The above naming convention for warrants has come into effect since 27 Feb 2012. The stock short name of warrants launched before 27 Feb 2012 will remain unchanged. There is no serial number assigned to the first issue of warrants launched before 27 Feb 2012 (i.e. ZZQQQQQ@ECYYMM).

You should note that the above naming conventions are applicable in most cases but not exclusive for all circumstances. The stock short names of warrants indicate some basic information only. You should refer to the relevant listing documents of the product and consult your brokers or investment advisers before trading. Listing documents can be found at “Securities Products” under the "Products & Services" section of the HKEX’s website.
