Huobi Acquires a Controlling Stake in Pantronics Holdings Ltd – Huobi has quietly bought a 73.73% stake in Pantronics Holdings. Pantronics filed shareholding disclosures on August 21, 2018 to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The filing transferred over 221 million regular shares to the Chairman of Huobi Group. The acquisition is a reverse takeover that seeks to recognize Huobi on the HKSE. Such a reverse takeover is oftentimes referred to as a backdoor listing. The deal is valued at $77 million with an average of $0.35 per share. However, Huobi is yet to offer an official statement regarding the reports. The move adds Huobi to a growing list of companies that are planning IPOs. Earlier this week, Bitmain, Canaan Creative and Ebang Holdings revealed plans to go public.

It is responsible for compiling, publishing and managing the Hang Seng Index and a range of other stock indexes, such as Hang Seng Composite Index, Hang Seng HK MidCap Index, etc.
Statistics
When the Hang Seng Index was first published, its base of 100 points was set equivalent to the stocks' total value as of the market close on July 31, 1964. Its all-time low is 58.61 points, reached retroactively on August 31, 1967, after the base value was established but before the publication of the index. The Hang Seng passed the 10,000 point milestone for the first time in its history on December 6, 1993 and, 13 years later, passed the 20,000 point milestone on December 28, 2006.

The Hang Seng Composite Index Series (恒生綜合指數) was launched on October 3, 2001, targeting on providing a broad standard of the performance of the Hong Kong stock market. Comprising the top 200 listed companies in terms of market capitalisation, it is composed of the geographical series and the industry series. The market capitalization of these companies accounts for about 97% of the total capitalization of the stocks in Hong Kong.

The Hang Seng Stock Classification System
The Hang Seng Stock Classification System is a comprehensive system designed for the Hong Kong stock market by HSI Services Limited. It reflects the stock performance in different sectors. It caters for the unique characteristics of the Hong Kong stock market and maintains the international compatibility with a mapping to the FTSE Global Classification System, which is compiled and administered by FTSE International Limited.
General Classification Guidelines:
i) The sales revenue arising from each business area of a company is the primary parameter of stock classification, and the net profit will also be taken into consideration to determine whether that company's business runs well.
ii) A company will be classified into different sectors according to its majority source of sales revenue.
iii) Re-classification of a stock's Industry Sector will occur once the company's business has undergone a major change, such as, substantial merger or acquisition.
Industry Sectors:
* Oil & Resources (資源礦產業)
* Industrial Goods (工業製品業)
* Consumer Goods (消費品製造業)
* Services (服務業)
* Utilities (公共事業)
* Financials (金融業)
* Properties & Construction (地產建築業)
* Information Technology (資訊科技業)
* Conglomerates (綜合企業)
Source of Information
The classification of each stock is based on the information available to the public, for examples the annual reports and company announcements.

Mainland Investors Allowed to Buy Hong Kong Stocks Under Pilot Program
By Claudia Blume
Hong Kong
27 August 2007
http://www.voanews.com/english/2007-08-27-voa6.cfm
Beijing has announced a pilot program that will allow Chinese citizens to invest in the Hong Kong stock market and New Zealand says it will take Australia to the World Trade Organization over a ban on apple imports. Claudia Blume at VOA's Asia News Center in Hong Kong has more on these and other business stories from the region.
The Chinese government will allow mainland investors to buy Hong Kong shares. Hong Kong, unlike mainland China, allows the free flow of money in and out of its financial markets.
Stephen Green is a senior economist for Standard Chartered Bank in Shanghai. He says Beijing wants to make it easier to shift funds overseas because there is too much cash pouring into the country, causing pressure on the currency to appreciate. Another reason, he says, is that at the moment Chinese investors have limited options for investing their money.
"It's basically put it on deposit at the bank, buy a house or invest in a very volatile - albeit very good in the last few months - stock market," he said. "And so it's part of an effort to allow them to diversify their exposure to various assets, which will hopefully increase their return in the long term and also reduce some of the risks involved for them."
China's central bank raised interest rates for the fourth time this year. The bank's main lending rate will go up by 18 basis points to 7.02 percent. The benchmark deposit rate will rise 27 basis points to 3.6 percent.
Beijing has raised interest rates several times this year in an effort to slow the rapidly growing economy and to control inflation, which reached its highest level in over a decade last month.
New Zealand will take Australia to the World Trade Organization over a dispute about apple exports. Canberra banned the import of apples from New Zealand 86 years ago to prevent a plant disease from spreading to Australia. Years of effort to resolve the issue bilaterally failed. Wellington says it hopes the WTO can persuade Australia to lift the ban, which it calls a barrier to free trade.
"The percentage of apple exports to Australia in the short term is not all that significant," said Jim Anderton, New Zealand's minister for agriculture. It is really the principle of gaining access to the market and being able to build on a secure base the future of our market access."
Filipino men have some catching up to do: Women far outnumber them at the top of the corporate ladder. While there were 2.5 million female executives in the Philippines in 2004, only 1.6 million executive jobs were held by men. The Philippines' Department of Labor says the ratio of women holding top posts is the world's best. Ninety-seven percent of businesses in the country have women in senior management positions.
Hang Seng has retraced 100%
