Abstract
This study examines information spillovers among Hong Kong (HK) REITs, major HK financial markets, major Chinese Mainland financial markets, and the VIX index. Our results reveal that time-varying spillover effects peak during crises, notably during the COVID-19 pandemic. The HK REITs market consistently receives return and volatility spillover effects from the HK stock market and real estate market. Since 2014, the HK REITs market has also been a significant recipient of volatility spillovers from Chinese Mainland stock and real estate markets. Additionally, the VIX index plays a driving role in the risk contagion effect of HK REITs. These findings inform investors in adjusting strategies, optimizing portfolios, and mitigating financial risks.
