Movement Alert|CMSC Falls 3.06% in Regular Trading, Mutual Fund Rebalancing From HK to A-Shares Pressures Brokerage Sector

Market Focus
Jul 27

On July 27, CMSC fell 3.06% in regular trading, trading at 14.95 HKD/share, with turnover of 17.71 million HKD. The decline came amid continued institutional fund outflows from Hong Kong-listed equities as mutual funds collectively shift allocations back to A-shares.

According to CMSC's own strategy team, active fund Hong Kong stock weighting dropped sharply from 13.94% in Q1 to 8.73% in Q2, a 5.21 percentage point decline. Institutional capital is flowing out of Hong Kong-listed technology and internet names into A-share STAR Market and ChiNext boards. The number of Hong Kong stocks among active fund heavy positions fell from 371 to 355 quarter-over-quarter.

Within the Investment Banking & Brokerage sector, peers were broadly under pressure. CMBC Capital fell 28.41%, CITIC SEC declined 1.01%, while CICC was flat and GTHT rose 0.72%. CMSC reported expected H1 net profit of 10-11 billion yuan, up 93%-112% year-over-year, yet the strong earnings have not shielded its Hong Kong-listed shares from sector-wide selling driven by the structural reallocation trend.
