What is Hong Kong stock exchange called?

Following demutualisation, SEHK, HKFE, and HKSCC merged under a single holding company – HKEX. This consolidation marked a new era for Hong Kong's financial markets, creating a unified platform for trading, clearing, and settlement of securities and derivatives.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, also known as HKEX, underwent a significant reform that transformed the landscape of its operations. This pivotal change restructured the company's structure and its constituent entities.

The creation of HKEX as a holding company facilitated seamless integration and coordination among its constituent exchanges and clearinghouses. It enabled the company to leverage the strengths of each entity, fostering innovation and enhancing overall market competitiveness.

Prior to the reform, The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (SEHK) and Hong Kong Futures Exchange Limited (HKFE) operated independently, each with its distinct focus and functions. However, with the onset of the reform, these two exchanges underwent a process known as demutualisation.

Demutualisation refers to the transformation of an exchange from a membership-based organisation, where trading rights are limited to members, to a for-profit company owned by shareholders. This step paved the way for increased efficiency, flexibility, and potential for growth.
