Exchange-traded funds' (ETFs) first quarter century on Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) has been a trailblazing run, punctuated by a parade of firsts: The advent of the Stock Connect cross-border trading program, Hong Kong's first cryptocurrency ETFs, and the arrival of popular leveraged and inverse products. But the early chapters in this partnership's story are still unfolding.

Brian Roberts, Managing Director, Head of Equities Product Development at HKEX sits down with Tiger Money co-hosts David Ingles and Rebecca Sin for a look at what lies ahead for ETFs, and how they might shape Hong Kong's investing future.
