To trade A-shares, you must first secure the necessary buying power. There are two methods to obtain buying power for trading A-shares: using cross-market trading capabilities or depositing funds.
To trade Hong Kong stocks, US stocks, and China A-shares using shared buying power across different markets, you need to:
• Activate Unified Buying Power.
If you hold a Margin Universal Account, you can automatically use shared buying power to trade stocks across different markets.
You can increase your buying power by depositing offshore RMB. Details can be found in the deposit instructions.
Alternatively, you can exchange HKD or USD in your account for CNH to get buying power for trading A-shares.
It can be operated on the mobile phone or on the official website. For the operation method, please refer to the currency exchange operation guide.
After depositing funds, you can trade a certain A-shares stock after choosing your Futu A-share account.
