Core Viewpoint - Despite a pullback in the Hong Kong stock market, southbound capital has surged, with a record net inflow of 358.76 billion HKD on August 15, 2025, surpassing the total inflow for the previous two weeks combined [2][3]. Group 1: Southbound Capital Inflow - Year-to-date, southbound capital has seen a cumulative net inflow exceeding 938.9 billion HKD, surpassing the total for the entire year of 2024 within just eight months [2][3]. - The recent trend shows a significant shift in investment strategy, with a focus on high-dividend financial stocks and growth sectors such as technology and healthcare [2][4].
