Growing ESG Awareness, Need for Increased Transparency
Since 2019, awareness of ESG investing has grown and the number of ESG funds offered to the public in Hong Kong has more than doubled.
In April 2019, Hong Kong SFC issued a Circular to management companies of SFC-authorized unit trusts and mutual funds – Green or ESG funds as an initial step to enhance the disclosure standard of ESG funds and improve their comparability, transparency and visibility.
- Hong Kong SFC-authorised Lis of Green and ESG funds
- Circular: To management companies of SFC-authorized unit trusts and mutual funds – ESG funds
In view of the rapid development of a diverse range of ESG investment strategies, Hong Kong SFC is mindful of the need for asset managers to clearly disclose how funds attain their ESG focus in order to help investors understand these products and assess whether they meet their investment needs.

Ashley Alder, Hong Kong SFC’s Chief Executive Officer:
“Making sustainability-related disclosures more transparent, comparable and consistent will help investors identify suitable ESG funds and reduce opportunities for greenwashing.
Hong Kong’s financial market is where global capital connects with Mainland enterprises, so what we do here can have an outsized influence on global developments in green and sustainable finance.”
