Overview

Hong Kong asset managers managing securities or futures portfolios generally require Type 9 licensing unless an exemption applies.

Coutts Consultants coordinates hong kong sfc type 9 asset management licence coordination as a defined Hong Kong professional-services engagement. We establish the client's commercial objective and review investment strategy, clients/funds, AUM, controllers, responsible officers, capital, compliance, risk, custody and operations.

Hong Kong combines Companies Registry requirements with Inland Revenue Department tax administration and, where relevant, Immigration Department, SFC, HKMA, Customs and sector-specific regulation. The engagement is scoped around the actual business rather than a generic package. We prepare a tailored evidence list and coordinate the appropriate authority, financial institution or Hong Kong specialist.

Reserved legal, tax, audit, immigration or regulated financial-services work is undertaken by appropriately qualified professionals, and all registrations, licences, visas and bank accounts remain subject to the competent authority or provider.
