Shenzhen exchange attracts net inflows

Foreign investors are focusing on mid to large-cap consumer, healthcare and tech stocks

Trading under the newly-launched Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect has been smooth, with the Shenzhen-listed stocks attracting continuous net capital inflows, the Chinese securities regulator said on Friday.

Overseas investors have shown greater enthusiasm to trade the Shenzhen-listed stocks, with total transactions reaching 18.9 billion yuan ($2.7 billion) as of Thursday, eclipsing the southbound transaction (mainland investors trading Hong Kong-listed shares) of 4.5 billion yuan, according to the regulator.
