It was rare to see hundreds of regulators, financiers and executives of listed companies \u2013 including chairmen and CEOs \u2013 come together in Central on Sunday morning without striking deals. Instead, they were taking part in a charity run, raising HK$9.7 million (US$1.2 million).<\/p>\n

The top bosses of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing<\/span> (HKEX), JPMorgan, DBS Hong Kong, Standard Chartered Bank, KPMG and Wharf (Holdings) were among those who had put on their running shoes to compete in relay races over 388 metres and 188 metres at Victoria Harbour to raise funds for The Community Chest.<\/div>\n

The Community Chest HKEX Gong Run, co-organised by the bourse operator and the charity organisation, was aimed at encouraging listed companies and financiers to become more involved in philanthropy. The event\u2019s title was a reference to the symbolic batons, which are the mallets used in gong-striking listing ceremonies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis event reinforces HKEX\u2019s role as a superconnector by bringing together market participants and stakeholders to foster growth and progress for the benefit of society,\u201d said HKEX chairman Carlson Tong Ka-shing at the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n

A highlight was the All-Stars Challenge, featuring the who\u2019s who of Hong Kong’s financial sector, with the HKEX Foundation donating HK$88,000 each on their behalf.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
