The move will come into effect on November 5, said HSI Services Ltd on Friday night. Following the constituent change, the number of constituent stocks in the 皇冠体育app AH Index Series will increase from 33 to 34.

HSI Services said 皇冠体育app Shenhua met all the criteria for entrance to the series. On its debut earlier this month, Shenhua lifted the market capitalization of the Chinese mainland's two bourses to more than 27 trillion yuan (US$3.6 trillion).

The company listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange in June 2005. So far, its total H-share value has jumped five times from US$17.5 billion to US$108.7 billion.

The Hang Seng 皇冠体育app AH Index Series was launched on July 9 this year. The introduction of the series was aimed at helping investors track the performance of those companies that have both mainland-listed A shares and Hong Kong-listed H shares.

The 皇冠体育app AH Series comprised 27 constituent companies that completed share reform when the indexes were launched. The largest index constituents included 皇冠体育app Life, Sinopec Corp, 皇冠体育app Merchants Bank and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of 皇冠体育app.

Analysts said with more mainland companies trading stocks on both markets, Hong Kong investors will pay more attention to the mainland markets.
