The Hang Seng Index tracks the performance of the largest companies on which exchange?

• A. Hong Kong Stock Exchange
• B. Shanghai Stock Exchange
• C. Tokyo Stock Exchange
• D. London Stock Exchange

Answer: (A)

The Hang Seng Index measures how the biggest, most liquid companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are performing. It’s a market-cap weighted index based on the free float-adjusted market capitalization of the largest HKEx-listed firms, making it the benchmark for Hong Kong equities and a read on local market sentiment. It does not track companies on Shanghai, Tokyo, or London, which have their own indices for those exchanges.
