On March 16, Hong Kong-listed State-owned Enterprise ETF Guotai (159519) closed up over 1%, with signs of recovery in the real estate sector providing a positive outlook.

CITIC Securities pointed out that commercial real estate in Hong Kong continues to recover. Swire Properties reported impressive 2025 results, with revenue up 11% year-on-year to HKD 16.041 billion, and attributable net profit soaring 27% to HKD 8.62 billion. Retail sales in Hong Kong performed well, with rent reversals turning positive early in 2026. Mainland retail also showed strong growth, with double-digit year-on-year sales increases in the first two months of 2026, driven by improved consumer sentiment and industry upgrades. Additionally, the intensifying Middle East geopolitical conflicts have increased global risk aversion. Hong Kong, with its neutral international financial center status, free capital flow, sound legal system, and proximity to Mainland China’s vast market, may become a key safe-haven destination for Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds and high-net-worth individuals, with real estate being a primary allocation focus.

The Hong Kong-listed State-owned Enterprise ETF Guotai (159519) tracks the Mainland China State-owned Enterprises Index (H11153), which mainly includes Chinese state-owned enterprises listed in Hong Kong. The index components comprise H-shares, Red Chips, and large-cap private companies. Sector allocation emphasizes finance, energy, telecommunications, and industry to reflect the comprehensive performance of these companies in the Hong Kong market.
