Ms. Fiona Tse, Associate Director of the Investment Products Division of SFC, remarked at the listing ceremony: "Harvest G2 Tech 50 ETF tracks the Solactive Harvest Tiger G2 Tech 50 Select Index, with its core investments in Chinese tech companies listed in Hong Kong and tech firms listed in the US.

Mr. Charlie Chen, CEO of HGI, remarked at the listing ceremony: "AI is currently driving a new global technology cycle, with the Chinese and American technology ecosystems demonstrating a clear pattern of complementary strengths and collaborative division of labor.

Complementary China-U.S. Tech Landscape Fuels Rising Cross-Market Allocation Demand
Since 2025, the global technology industry has been evolving at an accelerated pace: NVIDIA's market capitalization briefly surpassed US$5 trillion in U.S. equities, while the emergence of DeepSeek reignited market confidence in China's AI industry, driving a strong recovery in Hong Kong's technology sector. Looking ahead to 2026, the combined capital expenditure forecast for the four major U.S. tech giants is projected to reach approximately US$650 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of around 60%, while Chinese technology companies continue to ramp up AI R&D investment.
Against this backdrop, China and the United States have each developed distinct competitive advantages in the current technology cycle — the U.S. excels in foundational technology ecosystems such as semiconductors and core software. At the same time, China has developed deep industrial capabilities across application areas such as internet platforms, consumer electronics, and new energy. The two technology ecosystems are complementary and co-evolving, making the question of how to transcend single-market limitations and simultaneously capture the technology dividends from both markets a key allocation topic for investors.
One-Stop Access to China-U.S. Tech Leaders — Among HKEX's First ETFs of Its Kind
As an innovative product designed to meet market demand, the Harvest G2 Tech 50 ETF seeks to closely track the Solactive Harvest Tiger G2 Tech 50 Select Index. This index innovatively brings together 50 of the world's most influential technology companies into a single investment portfolio, comprising 30 Hong Kong-listed Chinese technology leaders and 20 U.S.-listed global technology giants[1],forming a complementary structure of "U.S. hardcore technology + Hong Kong tech application vitality."
The fund's portfolio spans multiple key areas in the current technology wave: in AI computing power and infrastructure, it covers U.S. computing power leaders such as NVIDIA, Broadcom, and AMD, as well as Hong Kong-listed names including SMIC and Lenovo Group; in internet platforms and software ecosystems, it brings together global technology giants such as Microsoft, Google, and Meta, alongside China's leading platform companies including Tencent, Alibaba, and Meituan; in on-device applications and consumer electronics, it includes Apple as well as Xiaomi Group and Sunny Optical, which stand to benefit from AI-driven hardware upgrades; and in intelligent manufacturing and new energy, it features Tesla, BYD, XPeng Motors, and Horizon Robotics — leaders in embodied intelligence and autonomous driving.
By integrating different markets and technology segments into a single investment portfolio, this ETF provides investors with a cross-market technology-themed allocation tool that diversifies single-market risk while participating in the long-term development trends of the global technology industry.
HGI stated that it will continue to deepen the integration of its parent company, Harvest Fund Management's, platform strengths and will carry out comprehensive cooperation across multiple dimensions, including investment research, products, sales, and client services. HGI is committed to seizing the broad opportunities presented by policy mechanisms such as Stock Connect, providing investors in Hong Kong, mainland China, and around the world with a rich array of products, diversified asset allocation, and agile cross-border investment services, while striving to deliver sustainable returns.
