ETFs in Mainland-Hong Kong stock connect to launch on July 4

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Trading of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) under Mainland-Hong Kong Stock Connect will commence on July 4, the regulators said in a joint statement on Tuesday.

The regulators - China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) - said they have agreed on arrangements for cross-boundary regulatory cooperation and investor education.

Stock connect schemes enable investors in mainland China and Hong Kong to freely trade stocks listed on exchanges in both locations.
