Financial card care question

在金融监管持续趋严经济全球化不断深化的背景下越来越多内地企业正积极寻求海外投资与国际化布局。With the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect、深港通两大证券互通机制的开通香港证券市场活跃度持续提升Hong Kong 1、4、9license plate作为证券及资产管理业务中具有代表性的三类牌照已成为券商私募及跨境金融机构重点关注的合规资质

港信通在实务中观察到内地机构排队办理Hong Kong 1、4、9license plate的情况日益普遍对计划进入国际资本市场开展证券交易证券咨询或资产管理业务的企业而言清晰理解各类牌照的功能边界申请要求与审批周期是推进香港金融牌照合规落地的关键前提

Hong Kong License No. 149的功能定位

Hong Kong 1、4、9号牌照分别对应不同类型的受规管业务三类牌照在证券交易证券意见提供及资产管理领域具有不同功能。Before the company applies,Should be combined with its own business model、Customer type、收入来源及未来发展规划明确所需牌照组合

  • Hong Kong License No. 1Mainly applicable to securities trading business,是证券交易公司申请的重要资质由于涉及的业务范围较广香港1号牌照也是目前十类券商牌照中持有者较多的一类
  • Hong Kong license No. 4主要用于就证券向投资人提供有关证券的建议性意见在业务中承担证券咨询及投资引导功能
  • Hong Kong license number 9Belongs to asset management license,可用于为海外投资者管理证券或期货合约投资组合是私募基金管理及资产管理机构重点关注的牌照类型

Hong Kong license number 9的市场关注度与商业价值

at present,香港9号牌照是内地大型私募机构高度关注的牌照资源近两年获得香港9号牌照的内地私募机构包括朱雀投资、Chongyang Investment、Fushan Investment, etc.。内地私募企业希望借助香港作为吸纳国际资金的平台逐步迈向国际化发展

As a qualification license for Type 9 regulated business under the Securities and Futures Ordinance,It is difficult to apply for Hong Kong No. 9 license。对持牌企业而言取得香港9号牌照不仅意味着可在合规框架下开展资产管理相关业务也相当于在国际资本市场获得更高程度的业务准入与市场认可

Hong Kong License No. 149的申请主体与资格要求

Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission对1、4、9号牌照始终采取审慎及严格的审批标准但不同牌照对应的业务性质人员能力内部控制及合规要求不同,Therefore, there are also differences in the difficulty of application。

Apply for Hong Kong 1、4、9号牌照的前提通常包括以下两种路径

  1. Set up a company in Hong Kong,并以该香港公司作为申请主体
  2. 以公司注册地注册海外法团的方式作为牌照申请路径之一

at the same time,相关持牌负责人需要通过香港证监会规定的测试以证明其具备相应的专业能力监管认知及持牌资格。Before the company applies,也需要充分准备管理架构、business model、Risk control system、合规制度及人员配置以回应香港证监会对持牌机构持续经营能力的审查

香港149号牌照申请材料与审批周期

Hong Kong 1、4、9号牌照申请通常需要提交业务规划公司基本信息等核心材料业务规划应清楚说明拟开展的受规管业务类型、target customers、Service content、盈利模式风险控制安排及合规管理机制

在审批周期方面,Hong Kong 1、4、9号牌照的审批时间为6个月,But in the actual process,一般会延长至9至12个月左右审批时间会受到申请材料完整度、Business complexity、持牌负责人资历合规制度成熟度及监管问询回复效率等因素影响
