With listing prices around HKD 7.75 and trading lot size of 100, the entry investments of 7248.HK and 7348.HK are approximately HKD 775, respectively. (HKD 100 = RM 52.25)

Following the CSI300 leveraged & inverse products launched last July, 7248.HK and 7348.HK provide more choices for investors intending to gain short-term China A-shares exposures, especially to the big blue chips.

The launch of the FTSE China A50 Index tracking L&I products will not only enrich the product offerings around FTSE China A50 Index but also provide investors, especially China A50 investors, with tools to amplify or hedge in an easy way.
