For US residents, Interactive Brokers allows customers to buy stocks in HK and many other int'l markets. Probably others do as well.

What is the relationship betwen DAH SING BANKING GROUP LTD and DAH SING FINANCIAL HOLDINGS? I asume the second is the mayority owner of the first one? The later one (SEHK: 440) looks cheap as well, at first quick glance.... What do you think?

DSF is the lead shareholder. DSBG is its main asset. I believe it used to have some insurance operations but it sold it years ago. But haven’t looked at DSF lately so you might want to confirm.

Great article, really love the way you dissect businesses!

Would love to invest in this stock, however I am not sure Indian brokers allow direct purchases of HK equities.

Any international MF that can be bought to gain exposure to this stock?

Thanks for the kind words. Don’t know how an India resident can access HK stocks. And it is too small to be a major holding in a MF.

Ah well, no problem. Anyways, great article. Gave me a few ideas on how I should evaluate banks 💪

This may come off as grossly uninformed -- but can you tell me an appropriate platform to buy HK stocks? My normal brokerage accounts do not appear to allow this.
