Lion-OCBC Securities Hang Seng TECH ETF

Lion-OCBC Securities Hang Seng TECH ETF replicates as closely as possible, before expenses, the performance of the Hang Seng TECH Index. The Hang Seng TECH Index was launched in July 2020 and it tracks the 30 largest Chinese TECH-themed companies listed in Hong Kong.

As the name of the ETF itself implied, Lion Global Investors has partner with OCBC securities to launch the first technology focused ETF which will start trading on SGX on 10 December 2020.

The Hang Seng TECH Index is reviewed on a quarterly basis but included a “Fast Entry” rule that allows fast-tracked inclusion for qualified IPOs that rank in the index’s top ten by market cap.

My Opinion

At first, I was sceptical at this ETF when I first glanced at it given there is always this management fee of 0.45% per annum and there are Chinese tech firms within the Hang Seng TECH Index that I am not familiar with. However, the strong share price performance of the top 10 companies within the Hang Seng TECH Index has given me some confidence that this ETF might actually fly.

Given the narrow focus of this ETF on technology companies, the share price of Lion-OCBC Securities Hang Seng TECH ETF can be volatile, especially the technology is focused on Chinese companies.

Nevertheless, investors who want a piece of the top 10 Chinese tech companies listed above can give Lion-OCBC Securities Hang Seng TECH ETF a shot unless you have an enormous capital to buy each one individually.
