<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/hong-kong-exchanges-clearing" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:490:1" rel="noopener">HKEX (388 HK)</a> June ADT (Average Daily Turnover) has been cooled off from recent high growth, delivering 16% year-over-year growth in the month. This is partially due to the high base from last year and the renewed worry about Beijing's crackdown of big tech in China. For the 1st half in 2021, HKEx ADT has grown an amazing 60% year-over-year. But the volume on derivative market is more muted than investors expect. We expect HKEx will deliver an in-line interim  result on upcoming August 11th.</li>
<li>On the IPO market, HKEx has completed 14 IPO deals in Q2 2021 and raised HK$ 76 billion. The new economy companies have accounted more than 70% of the IPO deals. The significant ones include <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/jd-logistics" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:31500:1" rel="noopener">JD Logistics (2618 HK)</a> , <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/nayuki-holdings" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:32149:1" rel="noopener">Nayuki Holdings (2150 HK)</a> , <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/linklogis" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:31126:1" rel="noopener">Linklogis (9959 HK) </a> and Trip.com (9961 HK). We are the believer that HKEx will play a key role on offshore China listings. Ongoing regulatory uncertainty is likely to accelerate the Chinese ADS' to diversify their listing risk and to benefit HKEx as a preferred offshore listing venue. </li>
<li>On the technology front, HKEx has introduced the new digital platform FINI ( Fast Interface for New Issuance) to speed up the IPO process. The new initiative will shorten the time-consuming paper subscriptions and cut IPO process from pricing to listing from T+5 to T+2. This will improve efficiency of pricing and capital usage. And FINI will likely be rolled out in Q4 2022. We remain bullish on <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/hong-kong-exchanges-clearing" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:490:1" rel="noopener">HKEX (388 HK)</a> and have TP HKD 550. </li>
