The growth in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has been one of the most disruptive trends within the asset management industry over the last 20 years. As of the end of 2023, the global total ETF assets under management (AUM) have exceeded USD$11 trillion.
In Hong Kong, thematic investments, fixed income, and virtual assets are covered by Hong Kong’s ETF products. Hong Kong also pioneered in offering Bitcoin futures and Ether futures ETFs among the Asian markets. With the listing of the first Asian Saudi Arabia Exchange-traded Fund (ETF) last year, Hong Kong’s role as a leading ETF market in Asia is further consolidated.
