Group 1 - Since late November, net inflows of southbound funds have continued to shrink, with a net outflow observed in the second week of December. CICC suggests that the new public fund regulations may have led to a reallocation or outflow of funds, but this factor is expected to have only a short-term impact and should not be extrapolated indefinitely [1] - Looking ahead, CICC notes that the Hong Kong stock market is more sensitive to liquidity compared to A-shares and is structurally more responsive to fundamentals. The true support for the Hong Kong market and valuation elasticity comes from technology (especially AI) and consumption. The technology sector in Hong Kong is more focused on applications and internet platforms, particularly in the "application layer" of AI rather than the "hardware layer," where current hardware has higher short-term certainty. The consumption sector mainly consists of discretionary and new consumption, which currently shows weak sentiment and lacks catalysts [2] - Huatai Securities indicates that the current market is still in a left-side layout phase, with the right-side turning point not yet clear.

Fund Performance - The Hong Kong Dividend ETF (513530) has attracted 1.668 billion yuan since October 28, 2025, increasing its fund size to 3.629 billion yuan and its share count to 2.226 billion, both reaching new highs since its inception on April 8, 2022 [1][5]. - The Hong Kong Dividend ETF is the first ETF in the A-share market that can invest in the CSI Hong Kong Stock Connect High Dividend Investment Index through the QDII model, potentially reducing dividend tax costs for long-term holders [1][5].
