The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
The upcoming lock-up expiries, valued at US$274 billion, are projected to cause a median decline of 4% in Hong Kong stocks three months post-expiry, potentially widening to 7% after six months, according to Goldman Sachs. This could further challenge Hong Kong's market performance relative to global counterparts.
