Update on SFC Practices in Cases of Wrongdoing by Licensed Firms
The latest Process Review Panel Report sheds light on current SFC practices in handling enforcement cases, inspections and complaints.
While retail funds must be authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission (“SFC”) before distribution in Hong Kong, the SFC has no authority to regulate private funds.

This article reviews amendments to the Code of Conduct for Persons Licensed by or Registered with the SFC, and the Fund Manager Code of Conduct, highlighting potential difficulties that intermediaries may face in ensuring compliance with the revised codes by August 17, 2018 and November 17, 2018 respectively.
