SSE’s Yuan Duoran: Shanghai Connect Covers 90% of SSE Market Cap

The headline number is less telling than the framing: Shanghai Connect's near-total coverage of SSE market cap means the cross-border access architecture is now largely built, and the marginal work shifts from widening eligibility to deepening product range. For global asset managers, the practical constraint is no longer which mainland names are reachable, but whether hedging, settlement and product wrappers keep pace with that access. Whether the exchange's stated push into cross-border products translates into concrete new instruments is the open question.
