Why not look outside? For a little bit of diversity, it's important to realize that there are always other exchanges than the US. Today I want to talk about <strong>Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX)<\/strong>I think it can be both a safe and interesting option for young investors among foreign exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article <strong>\"How to invest on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange\"<\/strong>, <strong>\"How to buy stocks abroad?\"<\/strong> we will answer frequently asked questions in a clear way. Let's get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hong-kong-borsas-n-n-ad-nedir\">What is the Name of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short answer: <strong>HKEX - Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited<\/strong><br>This stock exchange is one of the biggest in the world. Giant companies like Alibaba, Tencent, HSBC are traded here.<br>Hong Kong is a financial center that serves as a bridge between the US and China. Its liquidity is high and institutional investor interest is intense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short: Safe, big and full of opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yurt-d-borsa-hisseleri-nas-l-al-n-r\">How to Buy Overseas Stocks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have several options for direct investment from Turkey to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-yabanc-arac-kurumlar-zerinden\">1. <strong>Through foreign brokerage houses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Interactive Brokers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saxo Bank<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freedom Finance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trading212<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You open an account on these platforms, transfer dollars or euros. Then you can buy shares. Of course, I would like to point out that I have no organic ties with the platforms I mentioned above and I have not had the opportunity to test these platforms yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which shares can be bought? Industry leaders such as Tencent, Alibaba, Meituan, CLP Holdings and many other companies with high future potential are listed on this stock exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-etf-ile-dolayl-yat-r-m\">2. <strong>Indirect investment with ETF<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are ETFs (exchange-traded funds) that can be bought on the US stock market.<br>These include Hong Kong stocks. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>iShares MSCI Hong Kong ETF (EWH)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>KraneShares China Internet ETF (KWEB)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By buying these funds, you are indirectly entering the Hong Kong market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-t-rk-arac-kurumlar-ile\">3. <strong>With Turkish brokerage houses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some Turkish banks provide overseas investment services.<br>However, transaction fees can be high and share diversification limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-en-i-yi-borsa-hangi-lkenin\">Which Country Has the Best Stock Exchange?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The definition of \"best\" depends on what the investor is looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Short-term excitement? BIST is more volatile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Long-term confidence? The US and Hong Kong stand out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dividend income? European and Hong Kong banks are attractive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hong Kong<\/strong>with low currency risk, high liquidity and strong dividend-paying companies <strong>long-term investors<\/strong> for a good choice. Personally, I plan to include this exchange in part of my basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hong-kong-borsas-ne-zaman-a-l-yor\">When Does the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Open?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX)<\/strong>Turkey time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Morning <strong>04:30 - 07:00<\/strong> first session between<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breakfast break (LUNCH!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Followed by <strong>08:00 - 11:00<\/strong> second session between<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the stock market opens before you wake up.<br>But don't worry, you can give your orders at night and see the result in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hong-kong-borsas-na-yat-r-m-yapman-n-avantajlar\">Advantages of Investing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No capital gains tax<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low currency risk<\/strong> (HKD - USD constant)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chance to become a partner in world-renowned companies<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High dividend potential<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Liquidity is very high<\/strong>comfortable trading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, you are both a partner in a growing market and you are trading in an established market.
