South Koreans bought the most Hong Kong equities in three years in February as investors chased gains from a stock market rally.

They snapped up shares worth $189 million on a net basis last month, according to depository data compiled by Bloomberg. The trend has continued into March, with stock purchases poised to be the biggest two-month net buy since early 2021.
