On the morning of December 8, Hong Kong's chip industry chain strengthened again, with Huahong Semiconductor surging 4%, while SMIC, Shanghai Fudan, and Foxconn Interconnect Technology rose over 3%.

Recently, the renowned investment bank Bernstein released a research report stating that China's AI industry is transitioning from initial development to a new phase of supply chain expansion, with 2026 being a critical inflection point for growth. Bernstein emphasized that China's AI sector is not a bubble but is at a pivotal stage of supply chain advancement. With the release of domestic advanced production capacity, continuous technological iteration, and diversified demand growth, China's AI supply chain is expected to experience a full-scale rally by 2026. In the long term, AI chips—the segment with the most direct demand and clearest growth trajectory—will lead the industry chain's expansion. Semiconductor equipment, benefiting from localization needs, offers stable returns, while foundries must balance capacity expansion with profitability.
Targeting Hong Kong's chip supercycle, the Hong Kong Information Technology ETF (159131) is the first ETF focusing on the "Hong Kong chip" industry chain, enabling T+0 trading. The underlying index consists of "70% hardware + 30% software," heavily weighted toward Hong Kong-listed semiconductor, electronics, and computer software companies. It covers 42 Hong Kong-listed hard-tech firms, including SMIC (20.27% weighting), Xiaomi Group-W (9.11%), and Huahong Semiconductor (5.64%). Unlike ETFs holding large-cap internet stocks like Alibaba, Tencent, and Meituan, this ETF offers sharper exposure to Hong Kong's AI and hard-tech trends. (Data as of October 31, 2025.)
