<\/strong>Saudi <\/strong>Arabia\u2019s first investment-grade Sukuk <\/strong>ETF debuts in Hong Kong:<\/strong> The physically replicated Premia BOCHK Saudi Government Sukuk ETF began trading this past Thursday, offering investors direct exposure to government-issued sukuk denominated in SAR or USD, Premia Partners<\/a> said in a post on LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/p>\n

The fund carries a competitive annual total expense ratio (TER) of 0.35%<\/strong>, with the underlying sukuk carrying an A credit rating, reflecting low default risk. It tracks the iBoxx Tadawul Government & Agencies Sukuk Index \u2014 which includes only sukuk issued by the local government or its agencies.<\/p>\n

The launch comes as Hong Kong seeks to boost connectivity with the Kingdom and the <\/strong>Middle East<\/strong>, HKEX CEO Bonnie Chan was quoted as saying by Bloomberg<\/a> at Thursday\u2019s Capital Markets Forum, co-hosted by Tadawul.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead? <\/strong>Shariah-compliant sukuk and an REIT are among several products under review for cross-listing between Hong Kong and Riyadh, Hong Kong\u2019s Securities and Futures Commission Julia Leung was quoted as saying by Reuters<\/a>. \u201cWe're very comfortable in the cross listing of whatever products,\u201d Leung added.<\/p>\n

ADVISIORS- <\/strong>Our friends at HSBC will provide trustee, custody, and administration services for the ETF in Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia, while S&P Dow Jones Indices has licensed its iBoxx Tadawul Sukuk Index to Premia Partners.<\/p>\n

This is the latest of many Saudi and Chinese ETFs listed in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, <\/strong>Shanghai, and Riyadh since 2023<\/strong>. Bank Albilad rolled out the SAR 4.49 bn CSOP MSCI Hong Kong China ETF last October<\/a>, followed by the Sab Invest Hang Seng Hong Kong ETF<\/a>. Both launches came a month after the Capital Market Authority approved<\/a> Saudi Arabia\u2019s first Hong Kong-focused ETF for listing on Tadawul \u2014 a move that mirrored Hong Kong\u2019s earlier decision to list a Saudi-focused ETF on the Hong Kong exchange in November 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BUT- ETFs tracking Saudi and Chinese shares have seen limited trading and minimal <\/strong>capital influx,<\/strong> due to a \u201climited organic and natural demand for these products,\u201d said Bloomberg Intelligence Analyst Rebecca Sin. \u201cDespite their strong performance\u2026most [of] the assets under management seems to have come at inception with cornerstone investors,\u201d rather than drawing sustained interest from individual or mainstream institutional investors, Sin argued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
