UBS published a research report noting that although market capitalization and liquidity in the Hong Kong stock market have traditionally been concentrated in large-cap stocks, since 4Q24 liquidity has been observed flowing significantly into smaller market capitalization segments. This indicates that the tradable universe in the Hong Kong market is expanding, making the market more investable for investors sensitive to trading costs and capacity.

The bank believes that improved liquidity has also led to greater return dispersion, providing more alpha opportunities for stock-picking investors. This trend has been partly driven by increasingly active trading under the Southbound Stock Connect and high participation by mainland retail investors.

UBS further analyzed that as of April 2026, a total of 569 stocks were eligible for Southbound trading, accounting for more than 80% of Hong Kongs free-float market capitalization. Their trading activities (including those of mainland and overseas investors) represented over 90% of the total daily turnover of the Hong Kong market. As liquidity continues to improve, alpha opportunities in the Hong Kong stock market are increasing. (da/u)
