Chinese investors have purchased HK$800 billion ($101.9 billion) in Hong Kong-listed stocks, only $8 billion away from the annual record established in 2024.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index has risen 24% this year, marking one of the highest increases among the globe's major stock markets. In the same timeframe, China's CSI 300 increased by only 4.7%.

Analysts at China International Capital Corp predict that the inflow of capital from mainland China into Hong Kong's stock market may surpass HK$1 trillion this year. The projection anticipates a decrease in purchasing during the latter half of the year, as numerous Chinese investment funds are nearing the 50% limit on Hong Kong equities in their holdings.
