The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has published quick reference guides to assist family offices, private equity firms, hedge fund managers, and overseas and Mainland industry professionals in better understanding the SFC’s licensing regime. The guides address frequently-asked questions about licensing topics and provide specific information about licensing carve-outs for family offices, recognition of overseas industry experience and qualifications, and exemptions from examination requirements. The SFC aims to encourage more family offices and private equity businesses to operate in Hong Kong through the provision of useful information. The guides are accessible on the SFC website, and individuals can also reach out to the SFC through specific contact points listed on the website.
