SFC proposes to relax position limits for key exchange-traded derivatives

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has proposed to increase position limits for key exchange-traded derivatives in Hong Kong to align with market growth. The consultation suggests raising limits for futures and options contracts by 50% to 15,000 position delta for the Hang Seng Index, 108% to 25,000 for the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, and 43% to 30,000 for the Hang Seng TECH Index. This adjustment aims to enhance market liquidity and efficiency while ensuring a robust regulatory framework to manage risks. Public feedback is requested by March 28, 2025.
