The E Fund (HK) HKEX Tech 100 Index ETF (Stock Code: 3456) is the first investment product based on an HKEX-branded equity index, marking an important milestone as the Group builds its index business to facilitate investor access to capital markets.

The ETF's listing coincides with the 26th anniversary of HKEX's debut as a listed company — a fitting occasion to celebrate a new chapter in the Group's index business, alongside 26 years of innovation, vibrancy and growth. Since becoming a publicly traded company in 2000, HKEX has evolved from a local exchange into a leading global market operator and superconnector, committed to continuously enriching its product ecosystem and connecting capital with opportunity.

This ETF – launched by E Fund HK – combines a representative Hong Kong technology benchmark with a widely accessible investment vehicle, supporting investors in diversifying their portfolios and accessing the growth opportunities offered by Hong Kong listed technology companies. This listing also marks a milestone for HKEX's index business and underscores our commitment to continuously developing new and relevant products to better serve the evolving needs of global investors."

This is not only an important step in product innovation, but also a key practice in leveraging Hong Kong's 'super connector' advantage to deepen our internationalization strategy. The index brings together 100 of the high-potential technology companies in the Hong Kong market, and we hope to open an efficient gateway for global investors to participate in the future of China's technology sector. Looking ahead, we will continue to drive further product innovation, actively serve the diversified asset allocation needs of global investors, and contribute to the continued prosperity and openness of Hong Kong's financial market."
