智通财经APP获悉，8月1日，香港交易所上市主管伍洁镟介绍了香港交易所即将推行的新股市场定价优 化措施，她表示，如果新股定价机制中没有足够的定价者，定出来的价格就可能不够准确，令公司上市 后股价出现较大波动。香港交易所现在要求新股发售须分配至少40%的股份至建簿配售部分的投资者， 回补机制也作出修订，确保机构投资者、全球投资者与散户投资者在新股发行的股份中取得平衡的分配 比例。 伍洁镟指，过去二十多年来，散户和机构投资者的结构已经发生了巨大变化，二十多年前，香港的市场 是散户为主，而机构投资者则较少，只占市场不到一半，但目前香港市场的交易接近九成都来自机构投 资者。所以当局希望可以为发行人和投资者在新股定价和股份分配方面建立一个更灵活、清晰和透明的 框架。 因此，在制定规定时必须考虑到机构投资者的参与程度有所改变，引入适当的规则调整，尤其是近年香 港市场备受国际资本关注，并吸引了更多海外机构参与，上市制度也需要根据市场的演变而做出相应的 提升。 播客内容如下： Thomas：主持岑国誉(Thomas) Katherine：嘉宾香港交易所上市主管伍洁镟(Katherine) Thomas: Katherine， ...
