The Hang Seng Tech index is about to undergo a "major overhaul," and Xunce (03317.HK) is expected to be included in passive fund allocations.

According to the Zhituo Finance APP, on August 10, Hang Seng Index Company solicited market opinions on the proposed revision of the compilation method for the Hang Seng Technology Index. The plan is to expand the number of constituent stocks in the Hang Seng Technology Index from the current 30 to 50 and to introduce a dual-track stock selection mechanism of "market capitalization group + revenue growth group." Among them, 40 constituent stocks will be selected from the ranking of eligible technology stocks by market capitalization, while the other 10 will be supplemented from companies ranked beyond the top 40 by market capitalization that experience rapid revenue growth. This reform also broadens the coverage of the technology theme and is expected to enhance the representation of emerging technology sectors, such as AI and advanced hardware, within the index.
