HKMA-IM actively manages the Exchange Fund's assets, held mainly in the form of marketable interest-bearing instruments and equities in foreign currencies. To meet the operational needs of the government, part of the Exchange Fund is held in Hong Kong dollar-denominated securities. The firm follows a long-term strategy, including a benchmark approach and use of long-term capital markets. To preserve capital, provide liquidity and generate a long-term return, they manage the Exchange Fund as two distinct portfolios. The investment process is underpinned by strategic and tactical asset allocation. Guided by strategic allocation, they tactically allocate assets, aiming to outperform the benchmark and achieve a positive return.
