Hang Seng Indexes Company is proposing to expand the Hang Seng Tech Index (HSTECH) from 30 to 50 constituents. This change, detailed in a consultation paper released on Monday, aims to improve market representation. The selection process will adopt a dual framework: the top 40 stocks will be chosen based on market capitalization, while the remaining 10 will be selected using sales growth as a criterion. The company stated that this adjustment is intended to include fast-growing technology companies that may have smaller market capitalizations, which are currently excluded by a purely market-cap-based system.
