Hong Kong investors will be able to trade on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange starting next week, ending a wait of more than two years for China to open a second equity trading link between the mainland and the city.
The next step in China’s efforts to open up its market starts on Dec. 5, with the Shenzhen-Hong Kong connect giving investors in the city access to many Chinese technology companies that are listed on the mainland bourse. The program follows the launch of the Shanghai-Hong Kong connect in November 2014.
