Investor frustration is growing with Hong Kong\u2019s technology index, as the benchmark\u2019s prolonged slide contrasts sharply with the soaring share prices of several Chinese AI firms that recently went public in the city.<\/p>\n
The Hang Seng Tech Index \u2013 a gauge of Hong Kong-listed tech companies that was once seen as China\u2019s answer to the Nasdaq \u2013 has come under pressure in recent months, and the index\u2019s poor performance has drawn even more scrutiny amid the wider surge in Chinese artificial intelligence stocks.<\/p>\n

The index is missing out on the AI boom because it has not moved with the times, analysts said.<\/p>\n
It remains dominated by tech conglomerates, electric vehicle makers, e-commerce platforms and food delivery companies, as its eligibility rules have so far barred the inclusion of new AI players like MiniMax Group<\/a> and Knowledge Atlas<\/a> \u2013 also known as Zhipu AI \u2013 which have both made enormous gains<\/a> since listing in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n The index includes the 30 largest technology companies listed in Hong Kong, which are classified under industrials, consumer discretionary, healthcare, financials and information technology, according to the Hang Seng Indexes Company, an index compiler run by the Hang Seng Bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Investor frustration is growing with Hong Kong\u2019s technology index, as the benchmark\u2019s prolonged slide contrasts sharply with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28951,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[24,2477,25,19001,387,19000,18999,18997,2700,19002,930,304,588,3554,18998,16336,9756],"class_list":{"0":"post-28950","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ai","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-alibaba","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-bank-of-east-asia","12":"tag-china","13":"tag-everbright-securities-international","14":"tag-gary-yu","15":"tag-hang-seng-tech-index","16":"tag-hong-kong","17":"tag-knowledge-atlas","18":"tag-minimax","19":"tag-morgan-stanley","20":"tag-nasdaq","21":"tag-rednote","22":"tag-securities-and-futures-commission-of-hong-kong","23":"tag-tencent","24":"tag-zhipu-ai"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28950\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
