Hong Kong license number 9business positioning and core values
Different types of financial licenses in Hong Kong correspond to different business functions。The reason why Hong Kong License No. 9 attracts the attention of mainland private equity institutions，The key lies in its asset management properties。This license is similar to the business qualifications required by mainland private equity institutions，It can be mainly used to engage in services such as managing securities or futures contract investment portfolios.。
After obtaining Hong Kong license No. 9，Institutions can further expand private equity business channels，And enjoy the relevant advantages brought by Hong Kong’s tax system within the compliance framework。therefore，The Hong Kong Type 9 license agency requirements have long been a key issue for mainland private equity institutions to evaluate when entering the Hong Kong market.。
