Hang Seng TECH Index Outperformed Major Global Indices 
Hang Seng TECH Index has outperformed major global indices in 2020 amidst the global pandemic, with Chinese technology giants enjoying a growth surge during the coronavirus pandemic, in areas ranging from healthcare to cloud computing. The two largest Chinese tech companies, Alibaba and Tencent, have seen their share prices rally by 26% and 58% respectively in the 2020 year-to-date. 
As China and US bilateral tensions continue to simmer, an increasing number of Chinese tech companies listed in the US are returning home to list in China's mainland market or Hong Kong. The Hang Seng TECH Index has an IPO fast-entry mechanism to prepare for the homecoming of foreign-listed Chinese companies and the new listing of Chinese “unicorns” in Hong Kong. The rule enables sizable newly listed technology companies to be included in the index in a timely manner without the need to wait until the quarterly review.

China’s Growth Outlook 
China continued its economic recovery from COVID-19 in the third quarter of 2020, registering year-on-year growth of 4.9%. Although this headline number fell short of economists’ expectations, the broadening of growth on both the demand and supply sides appears to bode well for the rest of the year. Investment and net exports led China’s recovery in demand but, as noted by economists, increasing migrant worker employment numbers and household income suggest that consumption will gain strength in the last quarter of the year. The consensus forecast for China’s growth this year is now 2.2%, and the country remains the only major economy expected to post positive GDP growth in 2020.

Investing in ETFs

ETFs are investment funds listed and traded intraday on a stock exchange. The majority aim to track the performance of an index and provide access to a wide variety of markets and asset classes, including local stocks, international securities, bonds, commodities or money markets. 
Each ETF gives investors access to the performance of the asset that comprises the underlying index. Investing in the ETF is also less costly if one was to build a similar portfolio by buying the individual stocks. It also provides exposure to international markets and asset classes that may be inaccessible to individual investors.
