HONG KONG, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sirnaomics Ltd.

HSCI offers a comprehensive Hong Kong market benchmark that covers about the top 95th percentile of the total market capitalization of companies listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

HSHKI serves as a benchmark to reflect the overall performance of the securities listed in Hong Kong that are eligible for trading via the southbound trading link of Stock Connect. It covers equities eligible for trading via such scheme, with additional liquidity screening to make the covered equities a more investable reference set for mainland China investors.
The selection of the Company as a constituent stock of the above-mentioned index series of Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited is expected to be conducive in introducing more diversified investors for the Company, improving stock liquidity and promoting the Company's reputation in the capital market.
