The outlook for high-dividend strategies is positive; capitalize on Hong Kong stocks' dividend risk-hedging value. Guotai's dividend-focused Hang Seng ETF (159331) closes in the red.

The outlook for high-dividend strategies is positive, with opportunities to capitalize on Hong Kong stocks’ dividend and risk-hedging value. On March 16, the Hong Kong Dividend ETF, Guotai (159331), closed in the green.

CITIC Construction Investment pointed out that thanks to the stability of business models, high-dividend assets are worth enjoying a certain valuation premium. Hong Kong high-dividend stocks require a risk premium based on the US 10-year Treasury yield and one-year dollar deposit risks, and are discounted compared to A-shares due to dividend tax. Currently, the source of funds for Hong Kong stocks has changed significantly: on one hand, cross-border ETF sizes are expanding; on the other hand, foreign capital is entering the Hong Kong market through ETFs, bringing more capital flow into core infrastructure assets. Factors driving dividend assets include: whether the expected market return will fall within 20%; the speed and space for Federal Reserve rate cuts; and changes in the fundamentals of dividend assets themselves, such as price adjustments in highways and high-speed rail.

The Hong Kong Dividend ETF (159331) tracks the Hong Kong Stock Connect High Dividend Index (930914), which selects 30 high-dividend-yield securities with good liquidity and consistent dividends from the Stock Connect universe, weighted by dividend yield. The constituent stocks cover multiple industries, especially focusing on finance and traditional sectors, aiming to reflect the overall performance of high-quality securities under a high-dividend strategy in Hong Kong Stock Connect. It features notable stability. According to the fund contract, the Hong Kong Dividend ETF (159331) can distribute dividends monthly and has done so for 17 consecutive months, making it worth attention.
