Solactive Lumenary Global Founders Connect Index

Globally listed founder-led companies, structured for ETF Connect: Hong Kong listings eligible for Southbound trading form the core of the index, alongside founder-led companies listed elsewhere.

Overview

The Solactive Lumenary Global Founders Connect Index carries the flagship’s founder-led universe into Hong Kong’s Stock Connect channel. It holds the same founder-led companies, with Hong Kong-listed constituents limited to those eligible for Southbound trading, and gives the Hong Kong universe a fixed majority of the index weight.

It is structured for ETF Connect: designed as the underlying for Hong Kong-listed exchange-traded funds that Mainland investors can buy through the Stock Connect programme, while retaining exposure to founder-led companies in other markets.
