Hong Kong investors are not expected to warm to the renminbi qualified foreign institutional investors (RQFII) product as a favoured investment tool due to vague capital market regulation on the mainland, policy uncertainty from Beijing and unfamiliarity with A-share products.

About 70 per cent of investors would invest no more than 20 per cent of their liquid assets in RQFII products, said AMTD Financial Planning in a survey which polled 262 investors. About 12 per cent of them said they had never heard of RQFII.
