Monthly Stock Savings Plan
Monthly Stock Savings Plan

Wide Coverage of Hong Kong and U.S. Stocks

Our Monthly Stock Savings Plan lets you invest in both Hong Kong and U.S. stocks, from constituents of major market indices to selections of Exchange-traded Funds (ETFs), so that you can capitalize on the long-term trend with wider choices.

Start Your Plan as Low as HKD 1,000

You can select any one stock to start your stock savings plan. The monthly investment is just as low as HKD 1,000 per Hong Kong stock and USD 150 per U.S. stock. In addition, you can increase the monthly investment amount in the multiple of HKD 500 (for each Hong Kong stock) or USD 50 (for each U.S. stock) to the maximum of HKD 20,000 or USD 3,000 respectively.

Overcome Short-term Volatility to Capture Long-term Return

To achieve the benefits of "Dollar Cost Averaging", the monthly stock savings plan help you to invest a fixed amount regularly, you can buy more shares when the stock price is low and fewer shares when the stock price is high. You will then enjoy a lower average cost per share over the investment period.

With this investment strategy, you do not need to worry about the short-term price fluctuations, but conveniently achieve your investment targets in a disciplined manner with greater potential return in the long run.

Flexible and Economical

You can adjust, sell the shares, or even terminate the stock savings plan whenever you want, without any handling or custodian fees. You simply need to pay a fixed transaction fee per Hong Kong or U.S. stock, regardless of the monthly investment amount.
