First RQFII A-share ETF to Debut at HKEx

July 17, 2012--Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx) welcomes the pending listing of the first RMB Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (RQFII) A-share exchange traded fund (ETF) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the Exchange), a wholly-owned subsidiary of HKEx, the ChinaAMC CSI 300 Index ETF, which China Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited (CAMHK) will list on the Exchange tomorrow (Tuesday).

CAMHK's RQFII A-share ETF is a RMB-denominated physical A-share ETF. Through the RQFII investment quota granted by Mainland authorities, an RQFII A-share ETF seeks to track the performance of an A-share index by investing RMB raised outside Mainland China directly in a portfolio of A shares.

The ChinaAMC CSI 300 Index ETF will be the first physical ETF outside the Mainland market to invest directly in A-shares and the first A-share ETF outside the Mainland to trade in RMB. Besides this ETF, there are 24 other ETFs on A-share indices listed on the Exchange, but they adopt synthetic replication and are traded in Hong Kong dollars.

SFC-Fund management business continues to develop despite challenges in 2011

July 16, 2012--The annual Fund Management Activities Survey (FMAS) released today by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) shows that despite a 10.4% year-on-year decline, the combined fund management business (Note 1) continued on an uptrend on a trailing three-year average basis while achieving a number of milestones in expanding the range of renminbi investment products.

The latest survey indicates that Hong Kong remained a preferred platform for international investors investing in the region. Overseas investors have consistently contributed over 60% (i.e. $5,643 billion; Note 2) of the total fund management business, excluding real estate investment trusts (REITs). This proportion has remained steady over the past five years.

Singapore's economy shrinks 1.1 percent in 2Q

July 13, 2012--July 13, 2012--Singapore's economy shrank in the second quarter as a global slowdown undermined demand for the city-state's exports, the Trade and Industry Ministry said Friday.

Gross domestic product contracted at a seasonally adjusted, annualized rate of 1.1 percent in the April to June period from the previous quarter, when it expanded 9.4 percent, the ministry said.

Manufacturing, led by electronics and pharmaceuticals, dropped 6 percent in the second quarter, reversing from 21 percent growth in the first quarter, while services grew just 0.4 percent and construction 0.3 percent, it said. "The manufacturing sector, the key driver in the first quarter, is now the main drag," said Irvin Seah, an economist with DBS Bank in Singapore. "Weak external demand on account of the economic turmoil in the eurozone and the fading growth momentum in the U.S. continues to weigh on the growth pace in this sector."

China's economic growth slows to 7.6%

The second quarter's 7.6% pace-China's weakest economic expansion in three years-meets analysts' estimates.
July 13, 2012--China said its economy grew 7.6% in the second quarter compared with a year earlier. It was the weakest pace of expansion in three years but in line with analysts' expectations.

Declining investment in real estate and infrastructure as well as shrinking exports to Europe and the U.S. have contributed to the slowdown in the world's second-largest economy.

"It's not easy for China to achieve a 7.6% growth rate," Sheng Laiyun, a spokesman for China's National Bureau of Statistics, said at a news conference in Beijing on Friday. "It's already quite an achievement amid the global economic situation."
