Why choose Hong Kong? 

Once a company has decided to go public a suitable market to list shares must be identified. A Hong Kong location listing has the following advantages:

 

  • An established financial center and gateway to high growth areas of Mainland China and other Asian economies
  • Home Market Theory means that as part of Mainland China, our market is first choice for Mainland Chinese companies seeking a listing on an international overseas market. A significant portion of the trading value of Mainland Chinese companies is conducted in Hong Kong where companies have a dual listing of Hong Kong and another major overseas exchange
  • A robust legal system based on English common law
  • an effective environment for issuers, investors and fundraising. Hong Kong offers no restrictions on movement of funds, many tax incentives, freely convertible currency and securities.
  • International Accounting Standards with flexibility to accept accounting standards such as the US GAAP.
  • Advanced trading, clearing and settlement infrastructure. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, US dollar clearing system allows US dollar transactions to be settled in real time in the Asian time zone against the delivery of Hong Kong dollars, instead of 12 hours later in the New York time zone. This reduces the foreign exchange settlement risk caused by the liquidation of the time gap between the dollar and US dollar.
