China Gold International (02099) was selected for Hang Seng Growth Index and Hang Seng Hong Kong Stock Connect Central Enterprise Quality Index

Zhitong Finance App News, China Gold International (02099) announced that the company was selected for the Hang Seng Growth Index and Hang Seng Hong Kong Stock Connect Central Enterprise Quality Index. The change will be implemented after the market closes on September 4, 2026, and will take effect on September 7.

The Hang Seng Growth Index aims to reflect the overall performance of Hong Kong-listed securities that are most sensitive to changes in the stock market. It consists of 40 large and medium-sized listed companies that are most sensitive to market fluctuations. The index is prepared using a beta coefficient weighting method and has an upper limit on the share weight of individual constituent stocks. The Hang Seng Hong Kong Stock Connect Central Enterprise Quality Index uses central enterprises as the scope of stock selection. The purpose is to capture risk premiums for quality factors, select targets with the top 40% quality score from within central enterprises and adjust weight bias. All constituent stocks are eligible for Hong Kong Stock Connect trading.

This time, the company was also included in two differentiated Hang Seng Themed Indices, which is a double recognition of the company by authoritative international index compilers. On the one hand, it represents that the stock price flexibility and market transaction liquidity brought about by the company's high performance growth in recent years have been widely recognized by the capital market; on the other hand, it shows that the company's governance standardization, profit stability, and dividend return capacity as a central enterprise listing platform meet the quality screening standards of professional institutions. This selection will help broaden the company's coverage of domestic and foreign investors, enhance stock trading activity and capital market popularity, provide an opportunity for the company to enter the allocation target pool for highly flexible themed funds and index tracking products, further cover long-term capital such as Hong Kong Stock Connect funds and central enterprise themed allocation funds, and form positive support for the company's long-term development.

Mr. Hou Chenguang, Chairman and CEO of the company, commented, “We are very honored that the company was included in the two Hang Seng Themed Indices at the same time. This not only fully affirms the capital market's past operating results and growth potential, but also reflects the market's continued optimism about the value of non-ferrous metal mining tracks and high-quality central enterprise listing platforms. In the future, the company will continue to adhere to the core strategy and steadily advance the implementation of key projects such as the expansion of the Jiama mine and underground mining construction at the Changshanhao Gold Mine. While maintaining steady growth in performance, the company will continue to improve corporate governance, raise the level of shareholder returns, and create long-term sustainable value for all shareholders.”
