Zhipu and MiniMax entering Hengke; rules and buying pressure are two completely different things.
After Zhipu and MiniMax were included in the Hang Seng Tech Index, the most common question that arises is: Since they have not yet reached their first lock-up period, are index funds compelled to buy shares?
This question cannot be answered directly based on emotion.
Inclusion in the index must first adhere to publicly disclosed methodologies. Delisting will affect future supply and stock price pressure, but it is not a hard threshold within the Hang Seng Tech Index methodology. Passive funds buy before and after the index takes effect because their goal is to track the index, not because the index company is arranging exits for existing shareholders.
