London Stock Exchange Stock Connect
Connecting two of the world’s great economies

 

Shanghai-London Stock Connect and Shenzhen-London Stock Connect – part of London Stock Exchange Stock Connect – link one of the world’s largest domestic capital markets with the leading international market.

Global investors benefit from China‘s growth through London, while London Stock Exchange-listed companies can access Chinese investors directly.

Stock Connect represents a number of firsts:

  • The first time foreign companies can list in China and the first time companies listed on Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) can raise capital abroad through instruments fungible with their domestic shares.
  • The first time Chinese investors can access international stocks from within China without being subject to domestic capital controls.
  • The first time international investors can access China A-shares from outside Greater China and through international trading and settlement practices.

SSE and LSEG jointly developed Shanghai-London Stock Connect. And SZSE and LSEG together developed the Shenzhen-London Stock Connect. The Chinese and UK and governments supported both initiatives in collaboration with regulatory authorities.

By adopting new regulations and leveraging existing infrastructure, we have built a programme that supports the development of a vibrant financial ecosystem connecting China, the UK and the wider global economy. We invite issuers, banks, brokers, asset managers, asset owners and professional services firms from both countries to learn more and participate in Stock Connect.
