In the future, the number of constituent stocks will be increased to 50 in order to reflect the performance of Hong Kong stock market more accurately.

The Hang Seng Composite Index Series (恒生綜合指數) was launched on October 3, 2001, targeting on providing a broad standard of the performance of the Hong Kong stock market. Comprising the top 200 listed companies in terms of market capitalisation, it is composed of the geographical series and the industry series. The market capitalization of these companies accounts for about 97% of the total capitalization of the stocks in Hong Kong. To ensure fairness in its activities, the HSI Services established the Independent Advisory Committee to give advice on issues regarding the management of HSI. The Committee keeps reviewing the constituent stocks of HSI. Usual changes are expected.

Another new HSI Services approved stock market index is the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index (a joint venture between the FTSE Group and Xinhua Finance) which was launched on October 25, 2004, targeting Chinese red chip (listed in Hong Kong but with Chinese controlling shareholders) companies.
