A survey by BlackRock’s iShares reveals that retail investors in Hong Kong are increasingly turning to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for long-term wealth accumulation, with nearly half of respondents planning to start investing in the product or increase their holdings over the next year. The study, which surveyed 2,007 Hong Kong adults, found that 31% of respondents currently hold ETFs, giving it the second-highest penetration rate among the five Asia-Pacific markets surveyed.
