Hang Seng Index

The Hang Seng Index ("HSI") is one of the earliest stock market indexes in Hong Kong. Publicly launched on November 24, 1969, the HSI has become the most widely quoted indicator of the performance of the Hong Kong stock market.
The HSI is a broad-based, modified-free-float-adjusted market-capitalization-weighted index designed to reflect the performance of the overall Hong Kong stock market. 
Futures and options on the Hang Seng Index (HKFE Hang Seng Index Futures) are offered on the Hong Kong Futures Exchange. In January 2009, The Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved Hong Kong Futures Exchange's mini futures contracts based on the Hang Seng Index (HSI) and the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (HSCEI), for trade in the U.S.
The index will be expanded in 2021. Three companies will be added in June: Xinyi Solar Holdings Ltd., BYD Co. Ltd. and Country Garden Services Holdings, bringing the total number of companies in the index to 58 as of June 7. The benchmark is expected to have 80 companies by mid-2022 and eventually will have 100. Like the Chinese economy, the index has been transitioning from old-economy financials as newer companies in the information technology sector are added. 
According to a Bloomberg report, 43% of the index’s weighting was in financials as of Dec. 4, versus 24% for the information technology sector, However, IT was the Hang Seng’s largest sector by market value at 35%, twice that of financials.

Hanoi Securities Trading Center

__NOTOC__
The Hanoi Securities Trading Center (HaSTC) is Vietnam's fully automated trading counterpart to the more established HoChiMinh Stock Exchange (HSX), listing and trading government bonds and shares in small-cap and mid-cap firms mostly by auction. The HaSTC began trading in 2005 and will be transformed into an over-the-counter OTC securities market by 2010.
== Background ==
The HaSTC was approved for establishment in August 2003 and offically launched in March 2005, followed four months later by a secondary share-trading market for new listings. The first two-year phase of its development comprised organizing and conducting auctions of new share listings and government bonds denominated in Vietnamese dong, while the next three-year phase is aimed at establishing a fully functioning Vietnamese OTC market.
== Listings ==
Like the HSX, the HaSTC is overseen and regulated by the State Securities Commission of Vietnam (SSCV). HaSTC-traded shares have lower capital, shareholding and profitability requirements for listing than those on HSX, with new listings requiring charter capital of 5 billion Vietnamese dong, 50 shareholders and one year of profitability after registering. As of March 20, 2009 the HaSC listed 177 stocks for trading with a total market value of 211.5 billion Vietnamese dong.
== HaSTC Index ==
The HaSTC Index is a captialization-weighted price index comprising all stocks traded on the HaSTC exchange and serves as a benchmark for the small-cap and medium-cap stock markets in Vietnam compared to the more blue-chip VN Index. After two years of growth the HaSTC Index was clobbered in 2008 following the global credit crisis, losing more than two-thirds of its value over the year to close at 105.12 after opening 2008 at 322.34 amid hopes of hitting 500 by year-end. Since then the HaSTC Index has slid below 100 to close on March 20 at 95.57.
== Key People ==
Hanoi Securities Trading Center General Director Tran Van Dzung, 44, has held the position since the HaSTC began operating in 2005.
== Latest news ==
The HaSTC successfully auctioned off a $US100 million issuance of 2009's first dollar-denominated government bonds, carrying a 3% coupon, on March 20. The Vietnamese government plans to issue a further $200 million in US dollar bonds over the year to finance infrastructure projects and the budget deficit.

Harbor

Harbor is a platform designed for the issuance and trading of private securities. It originally targeted real estate investments. BitGo, a South Dakota-registered cryptocurrency custodian, announced that it had acquired Harbor on February 18, 2020.
 
== Company history == 
Harbor Platform launched with $28 million in venture capital from Andreesen Horowitz and Pantera Capital as well as strategic investments from Craft Ventures, Vy Capital, and Valor Equity Partners. The company developed its own "Regulated Token" or "R-Token," an ERC-20 token for securitizing real estate investments. 
=== Real estate offerings ===
On November 27, 2018 Harbor announced that it was registering investors to participate in a token offering of shares in Convexity Properties' $20.5 million apartment tower in Columbia, South Carolina. Convexity Properties is owned by DRW, which also owns Cumberland DRW LLC, a major OTC dealer and cryptocurrency trading platform. The blockchain based issuance was intended to allow a broader distribution of shares in the property than would normally be practical for a property of that size. The transaction subsequently fell apart because of issues with the mortgage lender. 
 
Harbor changed gears in September 2019 to tokenize the securities issued by real estate investor iCap Equity, which held $100 million of real estate investments at the time. According to investment advisory firm Bradley Wealth, the tokenized securities will free investors to sell their investments more easily and will help attract investors with varying time horizons.
=== Broker dealer license ===
On September 27, 2019 CEO Josh Stein told CoinDesk that Harbor had received its broker dealer license from FINRA. Stein also told CoinDesk, “We’re going to provide the technology platform to manage the fundraising, the technology to manage investors, the technology to tokenize and enable liquidity.”

Hard Red Spring Wheat

Hard red spring wheat (HRSW) is one of the highest-protein wheats grown. It is found in bagels, high quality breads and cereals. It is primarily traded at the Minneapolis Grain Exchange. 
==Hard Red Spring Wheat Production==
HRSW is grown in the U.S. Northern Plains (e.g., North Dakota) and the Canadian prairies (e.g., Saskatchewan). As its name indicates, HRSW is planted in the spring and harvested in late summer with the September contract representing new crop delivery. In contrast, winter wheat is fall-planted and spring-harvested, with a July new crop contract. HRSW is premium milling quality wheat. The commercial standard HRSW specification is 13%-14% protein; whereas the hard red winter (HRW) is often 11% protein. Generally speaking, the higher the protein content, the better the baking quality of the flour.

Hard Red Winter Wheat Index

The MGEX HRSW futures contract is the only major wheat futures contract with a required minimum protein for its deliverable stocks. The contract requires a minimum 13.5 percent, or better, protein content. 
The Hard Red Spring Wheat Index futures of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange are financially settled and electronically traded futures and options contracts traded on the Globex trading platform. This U.S. wheat contract provides price discovery on wheat originated at country elevators. It is harvested in the summer and the new crop month is July.
