The SEHK is characterised by great liquidity. Part of this liquidity is as a result of the qualified domestic institutional investor scheme, introduced in 2006, to channel China's foreign reserves into the SEHK and to alleviate the liquidity glut in the economy.

While the SEHK is dominated by Hong Kong and mainland Chinese companies, to alleviate this dependence, the SEHK implemented a policy a year ago to attract foreign companies to list on it.

Foreign companies are increasingly looking to list on the SEHK. The premiums for resource companies on the SEHK remain strong and in some cases much higher than other international markets. Given China's huge demand for minerals and resources, the lack of mineral and resources companies on the SEHK and the premiums involved, foreign mineral and resources companies are especially looking to list on the SEHK.
