SHKP 16 HK: A Very Safe Play to Bet on Hong Kong Future

<ul>
<li>2025 YTD, HK/China RE companies rebounded from recent lows (10% - 30%), and we think this will continue and turn into a sector re-rating</li>
<li>A combination of reduced global geopolitical tensions, expected monetary easing from US, China’s fiscal and monetary stimulus, HK’s robust capital inflow and lower interbank rate will support re-rating</li>
<li>Despite recent rebound, valuation remains attractive.  We recommend LONG COLI 688 HK and SHKP 16 HK.  For higher risk tolerance and higher beta, we recommend NWD 17 HK</li>
