The H-share market

THERE were a total of 151 companies with a combined market capitalisation of HK$4.64 trillion (S$743 billion) at the end of September. A full list can be found on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's website: http://www.hkex.com.hk/eng/stat/smstat/chidimen/cd_hmb.htm

Keep in mind that the actual market capitalisation of the companies is far larger than what is in the table. The numbers here only reflect the value of shares outstanding in the Hong Kong market.

Another thing to note is that investing in Hong Kong dollar-denominated shares exposes one to exchange rate risk.
