据Jeanny Yu报道，香港主要的科技股基准指数即将进行重大调整，其成分股数量将从30只增加至50只，以更好地反映快速发展的人工智能与机器人产业。
Kong’s main technology stock benchmark is expanding its number of constituents to 50 from 30 in a major revamp to better represent the fast-growing artificial intelligence and robotics sectors.
恒生指数有限公司表示，新入选的成分股名单将于11月20日公布，相关调整则自12月7日起生效。该指数编制机构周三透露，选股标准将依据市值、成交活跃度及营收增长情况来判定，这一标准与此前发布的咨询文件中的建议基本一致。
Hang Seng Indexes Co. said the new members will be announced on Nov. 20, with changes taking effect from Dec. 7. The stocks will be selected based on market value, turnover and sales growth, the index compiler said on Wednesday, confirming many of the suggestions floated in an earlier consultation paper.
目前，恒生科技指数中包含了阿里巴巴集团和腾讯控股等知名中国企业。但由于缺乏核心的人工智能硬件企业，该指数的整体表现一直不尽如人意。由于互联网企业在该指数中占比过高，而这类企业的股价又受到中国消费市场疲软的影响，也拖累了指数的整体表现。
The Hang Seng Tech Index, which includes major Chinese companies such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd., has struggled with weak returns as it lacks core AI hardware firms among its members. The gauge’s heavy representation of Internet firms has been a drag, with their stocks weighed down by China’s weak consumer spending.
此前，投资者们一直抱怨该指数在吸纳中国本土的领先科技企业方面动作迟缓。例如，人工智能模型开发企业Z.AI Co.直到今年6月才被纳入指数，而该公司在1月份上市后的股价涨幅已超1000%。今年以来，该指数整体跌幅达24%左右，表现逊于中国内地及美国的其他同类指数。
READ: Hong Kong Tech Index Set for Overhaul With More Firms, AI Focus Investors have long complained that the benchmark has been slow to include some of China’s pioneering tech firms. AI model developer Z.AI Co. only joined the gauge in June, after rallying more than 1,000% since its debut in January. The index is down about 24% this year, trailing its peers in China and the US.
根据最新规定，新入选的成分股在过去三个月内的日均成交额须达到1亿港元（约合1270万美元）以上；至于那些因营收增长表现优异而入选的10家公司，其最近两个财政年度的年营收额也须不低于5亿港元。
New constituents should have an average daily turnover of at least HK$100 million ($12.7 million) over the past three months, according to the statement. For the 10 companies chosen by revenue growth, it must have annual sales of at least HK$500 million in the most recent two financial years.
