Shanghai Stock Connect / Shenzhen Stock Connect
Which currency is used for trading and settlement under Shanghai Stock Connect and Shenzhen Stock Connect?
Hong Kong and overseas investors trade and settle Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Connect stocks in Renminbi (RMB).
Mainland investors trade Hong Kong Stock Connect stocks in Hong Kong Dollars (HKD), while settlement with China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited (CSDCC) and its participants is conducted in RMB.
Are intraday trades allowed for Shanghai Stock Connect stocks?
Intraday trading is prohibited under both Stock Connect markets. Hong Kong and overseas investors can only sell stocks purchased on Trade Day T on T+1 or later (please refer to front-end monitoring rules).
In respect of southbound trading, intraday trading is permitted for Mainland investors trading Hong Kong Stock Connect stocks.
Is margin trading available for Shanghai Stock Connect stocks?
It depends; margin trading may be applicable to Shanghai Stock Connect eligible stocks.
Hong Kong and overseas investors are not allowed to participate in the margin trading and securities lending business of the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE). However, within the scope stipulated by the SSE (to be incorporated into HKEX Listing Rules), they may conduct margin trading of SSE-listed stocks via Shanghai Stock Connect in Hong Kong.
Board lot size, odd lots, order volume and minimum price fluctuation of Shanghai Stock Connect stocks
Each buy order for Shanghai Stock Connect stocks must be placed in board lots of 100 shares. Only sell orders can accept odd lots, and all odd lots must be sold in a single sell order. It is common to see board lot buy orders matched with odd lot sell orders to complete odd lot transactions.
Unlike the Hong Kong market, board lot orders and odd lot orders received by the SSE are matched on the same trading platform at the same quoted price.
The maximum single order volume for Shanghai Stock Connect stocks is 1,000,000 shares, with a uniform minimum price fluctuation of RMB 0.01.
Do SSE price fluctuation limits apply to Shanghai Stock Connect?
For Shanghai Stock Connect stocks, the prevailing daily price fluctuation limit set by the SSE is generally ±10% based on the previous closing price.
For stocks under risk warning board (ST and *ST stocks), the price fluctuation limit is ±5%.
Are transactions covered by the Investor Compensation Fund?
Hong Kong investors participating in Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Connect via HKEX Participants remain protected under Hong Kong laws.
Similar to overseas investments with sub-custody arrangements, investors are exposed to counterparty risks arising from additional intermediaries in the transaction chain, namely Mainland central securities depository CSDCC.
Hong Kong investors continue to conduct trading and settlement arrangements through HKEX Participants and are protected under the Securities and Futures Ordinance. Please note that existing Investor Compensation Fund does not cover any northbound trading activities.
Can Stock Connect investors subscribe for IPOs in the counterparty market?
Shanghai Stock Connect does not support initial public offerings. Relevant regulatory authorities are still reviewing whether other capital raising activities will be allowed via Stock Connect.
If such services are not approved, no rights issue subscription will be available through Stock Connect.
If eligible capital raising activities are permitted, Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited will provide rights issue subscription services for eligible Shanghai Stock Connect stock holdings to CCASS Participants, in a manner similar to existing rights subscription arrangements for Hong Kong-listed stocks. HKSCC will accept electronic instructions from CCASS Participants and execute relevant arrangements on their behalf.

Securities Trading
1. What is Margin Loan?
When trading securities, investors may either pay the full purchase amount or borrow part of the funds from our company. To apply for borrowing, clients are required to open a margin trading account. The portion of funds deposited by clients against the total value of purchased securities is known as margin deposit.
We provide loans to clients, with purchased securities or other securities held in the margin account pledged as collateral. We have full discretion to determine the required margin ratio based on individual client circumstances and pledged securities.
After selling securities, clients shall repay the borrowed funds in accordance with margin credit terms. Net trading profit equals proceeds from securities sales minus purchase cost, transaction fees and margin loan interest.
Generally, investors use margin trading to increase purchasing power and amplify investment capital via leverage. While margin trading may bring higher returns, it also magnifies potential losses.
Example: A stock is bought at HK$100 and rises to HK$150 later.
Full payment: investment return reaches 50%.
50% margin ratio (pay HK$50 cash, borrow HK$50): investment return hits 100% on principal invested.
Conversely, sharp price drops will trigger heavy losses. If the stock falls from HK$100 to HK$50:
Full payment leads to 50% capital loss.
50% margin trading results in total loss of principal.
Bear in mind leverage can boost profits as well as cause substantial losses.
Apart from enlarged loss risks, margin traders are exposed to margin calls. If the market value of securities in the margin account falls below the prescribed margin ratio, we may require clients to top up additional collateral. Failure to meet the requirement promptly will entitle us to liquidate securities held in the account. We shall set the time limit for margin top-up in accordance with internal guidelines.
Please note that we are not obligated to issue margin call notices or remind clients of insufficient margin levels. We reserve the right to sell client securities without prior notice. Even if we promise time for collateral injection, we may still dispose of securities before full margin settlement. Where multiple stocks are pledged, we may sell the most liquid ones instead of designated holdings. Clients must fully understand margin call procedures before trading.
In case of forced liquidation, losses may exceed the deposited margin. If liquidation proceeds are insufficient to settle outstanding margin loans, clients shall bear all account deficits in addition to losing all margin deposits.
The pre-opening session is an additional 30-minute trading period before morning market opening. Exchange participants may input orders for single-price auction and report pre-opening executed trades within this period.
It is divided into four phases as follows:
表格
Phase | Time | Auction Orders | Auction Limit Orders |
|---|---|---|---|
Order Input Period | 09:00 - 09:15 | Input / Amend / Cancel allowed | Input / Amend / Cancel allowed |
Pre-order Matching Period | 09:15 - 09:20 | Only input allowed, no amendment or cancellation | No input, amendment or cancellation |
Order Matching Period | 09:20 - 09:28 | Unmatched auction orders will be cancelled automatically | Unmatched auction limit orders will be converted into limit orders for continuous trading session execution |
Suspension Period | 09:28 - 09:30 | All trading system operations suspended until morning trading commences | All trading system operations suspended until morning trading commences |
An auction order has no specified execution price and is matched at the final indicative equilibrium price. It enjoys higher matching priority than auction limit orders and is executed in chronological order at the equilibrium price. All unfilled auction orders will be cancelled automatically before continuous trading starts.
An auction limit order is placed with a fixed price. It can be matched at the final indicative equilibrium price if its stipulated price is equal to or more competitive than the equilibrium price, subject to sufficient counterparty orders available. Matching follows price priority and time priority at the equilibrium price, and such orders will not be executed at prices inferior to the equilibrium price.
Unfilled auction limit orders with input prices not deviating over nine times of matching price will be converted into regular limit orders and queued at the set price for continuous trading after pre-opening session ends.
Warrants are derivative financial instruments issued by institutional issuers and listed for trading on Hong Kong Stock Exchange, functioning as option contracts. Holders have the right to buy or sell underlying assets at a predetermined strike price before expiry date.
There are two main types:
Call Warrants: Suitable for bullish investors, granting rights to purchase underlying assets at fixed strike price on specified expiry date.
Put Warrants: Suitable for bearish investors, granting rights to sell underlying assets at fixed strike price on specified expiry date.
Bull and bear certificates are structured leveraged investment products that track underlying asset performance without paying full asset purchase value. Investors may buy bull certificates for bullish views or bear certificates for bearish views. They are mainly issued by investment banks and have no affiliation with stock exchanges or underlying assets.
Tenors range from 3 months to 5 years with cash settlement only. They carry a knock-out price specified in listing documents. Once the underlying asset price touches the knock-out price within validity period, the product will be redeemed early and trading terminated immediately.
All bull and bear certificates have fixed expiry dates and may be triggered for mandatory redemption. For bull certificates, knock-out price is equal to or higher than strike price; for bear certificates, knock-out price is equal to or lower than strike price. Relevant prices are disclosed in listing documents and HKEX website.
Once underlying asset price hits the knock-out level, issuers shall redeem the product and terminate the contract instantly. No further trading is allowed afterwards, and investors can only claim residual value if any. Subsequent favorable price movements will not bring any benefits as the contract is permanently terminated.
If the underlying stock listed on HKEX is suspended, relevant bull and bear certificates will also halt trading until the stock resumes trading. For overseas underlying stocks, please refer to provisions stated in product listing documents.
Each bull/bear certificate has a designated expiry date. If knocked out before maturity, the knock-out date becomes its final trading day, and investors cannot sell them any longer after mandatory redemption takes effect. If no knock-out occurs throughout the tenor, the last trading day falls on the day prior to expiry date. This rule differs from traditional warrants, whose last trading day is four days ahead of expiry.
ETFs are passively managed open-ended collective investment schemes approved by SFC and listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange. They track performances of benchmarks such as indices and commodities including gold, enabling cost-effective diversified market exposure. ETFs can be traded like ordinary securities via brokers during market hours.
It is essential for investors to fully understand market risks and assess personal risk tolerance before investing in Hong Kong equities. Investments carry both profit opportunities and loss risks. Major risks include but are not limited to:
Market Risk: Stock prices fluctuate sharply and unpredictably affected by local and global economic factors.
Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate changes impact stock valuations. Linked to US dollar, Hong Kong interest rates are highly sensitive to US monetary policy adjustments.
Global Economic Risk: Open Hong Kong market is easily influenced by worldwide economic conditions.
Business Risk: Listed companies may suffer profit slump or even bankruptcy due to poor management, industry slowdown and fierce competition.
Corporate Governance Risk: Improper corporate operations may damage shareholder interests, while regulators generally do not intervene in legal commercial decisions.
Trading Suspension Risk: Stock halt restricts entry and exit opportunities, while asset value may still fluctuate during suspension.
Liquidity Risk: No official market makers in Hong Kong stock market; low-cap stocks face difficulties in quick liquidation with high transaction costs.
Currency Risk: Exchange rate fluctuations between home currency and HKD/USD may cause conversion losses for overseas investors.
Policy Risk: Regulatory and policy adjustments in Mainland China and Hong Kong may exert significant impacts on specific sectors and stocks.

Margin Call Collection
1. Under what circumstances will a margin call be issued?
A margin call will be issued by our company anytime when the loanable value of securities held in your account falls below your outstanding payable amount.
Example
You hold one board lot of HSBC Holdings worth approximately HK$40,000 in your margin account with an outstanding loan of HK$20,000. Given the loan-to-value ratio of 50% for HSBC Holdings, you are eligible for a HK
$20,000 loan, so no margin call will be triggered.
If the share price drops and the market value falls to HK$30,000, we will require you to deposit an additional HK$5,000 margin.
No. You may only place new security purchases after depositing sufficient margin funds.
Fund withdrawal and new stock purchases are only allowed when your account has positive cash balance. If your account is in debit, fund withdrawal is prohibited even with available credit line; you may only trade securities within your credit limit.
You must inject cash or eligible collateral securities, or liquidate your holdings within one trading day upon receipt of the margin call. Otherwise, we reserve the right to sell your securities without prior notice at any time.
For margin account holders, the financing interest rate is Prime Rate + 3.0%. Interest accrues monthly and is debited from your account at month-end.
Example
Suppose the prevailing prime rate is 5.25% and your outstanding loan amounts to HK$50,000.
Daily interest calculation:
HKD 50000 × 8.25% ÷ 365 ≈ HKD 11.30
Unified Purchasing Power
1. What is Unified Purchasing Power?
Unified Purchasing Power refers to the combined value of various currency balances and/or collateral value of securities held in your Yangtze Securities account. After systematic assessment, the available purchasing power is calculated. When placing orders, you may invest in Hong Kong and US stocks across markets via Unified Purchasing Power without prior currency conversion, even if you have insufficient cash balance denominated in the target market currency.
When conducting securities trading:
A. If you do not hold the currency of the target market, you may buy Hong Kong and US stocks across markets directly via Unified Purchasing Power without converting currencies in advance.
B. If your available cash balance in the target market currency is insufficient, you may also use Unified Purchasing Power for cross-market purchases without prior currency exchange.
Cash Securities Account: Unified Purchasing Power is calculated based on the total value of all currency balances in the account after assessment.
Margin Securities Account: Unified Purchasing Power covers all currency balances plus securities collateral value (only applicable to Hong Kong stocks for the time being), and the available purchasing power is determined via unified system evaluation.
Yes. We provide automatic currency conversion service on settlement date to ensure smooth transaction settlement, unless you hold sufficient relevant currency balance in your account.
Negative HKD balance: Convert USD first, then CNY.
Negative USD balance: Convert HKD first, then CNY.
Negative CNY balance: Sufficient CNY balance is required to place orders for Mainland A-shares via Northbound Stock Connect. Please contact our customer service in advance to arrange CNY conversion.
Sharp exchange rate fluctuations may lead to insufficient settlement funds, resulting in negative currency balances and accrued interest charges. You are advised to deposit sufficient funds promptly on settlement date to minimize interest costs.
No. This service is available to all Yangtze Securities clients. If you intend to avoid purchasing securities exceeding your available balance of a specific currency, please refer to the cash balance of that currency as your maximum investment limit.
Yes. You may deposit sufficient funds in the required settlement currency before 4:00 PM on the business day prior to settlement date, so as to skip the automatic currency conversion service on settlement day.
Foreign Exchange Risk: There is a time gap between trade date and settlement date including holidays. Rapid exchange rate swings may devalue your original holdings and increase actual conversion costs upon settlement.
Interest Risk: Severe currency fluctuations may result in excessive fund conversion needs, causing negative account balances and additional interest expenses.
Margin Risk: For margin accounts, Unified Purchasing Power includes securities collateral value. Price volatility of pledged securities may easily trigger margin calls. Please top up funds or liquidate part of holdings timely to maintain eligible collateral ratios.
Interest is calculated daily based on account overdraft balances as follows (calculated based on HSBC Prime Rate):
Currency | Cash Securities Account | Margin Securities Account |
|---|---|---|
HKD | Prime Rate + 8.00% (365-day basis) | Prime Rate + 5.00% (365-day basis) |
USD | Prime Rate + 8.00% (360-day basis) | Prime Rate + 5.00% (360-day basis) |
CNY | Prime Rate + 8.00% (365-day basis) | Prime Rate + 5.00% (365-day basis) |
No. You must hold sufficient CNY to place orders for Northbound Stock Connect securities. Other currency balances cannot be used via Unified Purchasing Power for such transactions. Please apply for CNY currency conversion via customer service in advance before placing relevant orders.
