HK Market: Dividend Yields Of China Financial Stocks

Last week, we touched on the major financial services companies in Temasek's portfolio. I came to realise that much of Temasek's financial services portfolio was focused on companies in China (which can be purchased via the Hong Kong Stock Market), which prompted me to study further on the dividend yields paid out by these companies.

My findings turned out that some China financial stocks actually pay pretty good dividend yields, more than Singapore bank stocks. Here are my findings:
