Bulls Say

  • HKEx enjoys an extraordinarily privileged position, whereby it holds an effective monopoly on facilitating the movement of capital between the world’s second-largest economy and the rest of the world.

  • Continued liberalization of China’s capital markets and expansion of the Connect program will underpin volume growth for HKEx’s products.

  • HKEx is one of the most profitable exchanges in Morningstar’s global coverage universe.

Bears Say

  • HKEx’s fate is strongly linked to China’s economy, which is facing demographic and debt issues, not too dissimilar from Japan in the 1990s.

  • Increased influence of China over Hong Kong could reduce Hong Kong's relative autonomy and risks reducing the attractiveness of Hong Kong to global investors.

  • HKEx is facing increased competition from China’s local exchanges, such as the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
