Hong Kong investors most eager in Asia to beat markets – but temper return hopes

Some 95 per cent of Hong Kong respondents said they wanted to outperform the market, the highest proportion in Asia.

Hong Kong investors expected long-term returns of 12.3 per cent above inflation, compared with the regional average of 17.3 per cent.

An 18-month rally partly fuelled by the AI boom inflated expectations across Asia, but Hong Kong investors are taking a more measured view.
