Core Viewpoint - The Hong Kong stock market's innovative drug sector has seen a significant rebound in performance this year, driven by favorable policies, accelerated R&D, and a surge in overseas expansion. The Hang Seng Innovative Drug Index (HSIDI.HI) has gained over 100% year-to-date, attracting considerable market attention. In light of this positive trend, the index's compilation rules have undergone important revisions [1][2]. Summary by Relevant Sections Index Adjustments - On August 1, 2025, the Hang Seng Index Company announced key revisions to the Hang Seng Innovative Drug Index, effective from August 11, 2025. The main changes include the removal of companies in the CXO sector, which encompasses Contract Research Organizations (CRO), Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMO), and Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMO) [1][2]. Focus on Core Enterprises - The index has removed seven companies with relatively low "innovative drug content," resulting in a renewed focus on core innovative drug enterprises. These companies typically possess strong R&D capabilities and core patent technologies, enhancing the index's ability to capture the industry's driving forces [3][5]. Top Constituents and Their Weightings - The top ten constituents of the revised index and their respective weights are as follows: - 9926.HK: 10.31% - 6160.HK: 9.80% - 1801.HK: 9.52% - 1177.HK: 9.47% - 6990.HK: 9.18% - 1093.HK: 6.98% - 1952.HK: 6.22% - 9688.HK: 6.12% - 1530.HK: 5.90% - 2157.HK: 2.94% [4]. Enhanced Liquidity and Trading Efficiency - The index's selection criteria have been modified to include only companies eligible for trading under the Southbound Stock Connect, thereby enhancing liquidity and trading convenience. This change is expected to attract more mainland capital, further improving the index's trading dynamics [7].
