First Gen-AI use case under the partnership to enhance data processing capability
HONG KONG, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hang Seng Indexes Company and Cyberport are delighted to announce the successful adoption of the first Generative AI (‘Gen-AI’) use case from the Index Innovation Lab, a joint initiative established in 2024 between Hang Seng Bank and Cyberport. This milestone use case marks the first time a Gen-AI solution has been applied in Hang Seng Indexes Company’s index calculation process, enhancing data processing efficiency.
Through the Index Innovation Lab, Hang Seng Indexes Company engaged with more than 200 innovators from Cyberport’s network to co–create practical solutions that enhance index operations. Building on these interactions, Hang Seng Indexes Company collaborated with INF Hong Kong, a Cyberport community member, to co–develop Gen-AI solutions to assist in the calculation of the free-float adjusted factor (‘FAF’). With this innovative solution, the efficiency of calculating the percentage of publicly tradable shares of a listed company is further enhanced.
This Gen-AI capability has been integrated into the Hang Seng Family of Indexes, including the Hang Seng Index, Hang Seng China Enterprises Index and Hang Seng TECH Index.
Gilbert Lee, Executive Chairman of Hang Seng Indexes Company, said: "We are proud to introduce Gen-AI into our index calculation, further advancing our innovation journey. Through the partnership between Hang Seng Bank and Cyberport, Hang Seng Indexes Company has adopted the latest technology, in order to reinforce our role as a cornerstone of the Hong Kong’s financial market, further enhancing market transparency and liquidity.
