Hong Kong Futures Exchange

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hong Kong Futures Exchange (HKFE) was a futures exchange in Hong Kong. Established in 1976, it offered a variety of options and futures contracts, linked to stock market indices, stocks, short term interest rates, and foreign exchange.

On March 6, 2000 it merged with the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, and together with Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company formed Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited.
