What is the trading unit for Hong Kong stocks? Is one hand 100 shares? Can I buy or sell stocks with less than one lot?
The buying and selling unit of Hong Kong stocks is one lot, which is the smallest trading unit. For example: 100 shares in one hand, 400 shares in one hand, 1000 shares in one hand, or other unequal quantities. In the Hong Kong stock market, the number of shares per lot varies for each stock. For example, currently Tencent Holdings holds 100 shares per lot and HSBC Holdings holds 400 shares per lot in the Hong Kong stock market.
