Listing regulation
- Listing applications: We vetted 78 new listing applications, including three from companies with weighted voting rights structures and 15 from pre-profit biotech companies.

- Takeovers: We publicly censured BIT Mining Limited2 for breaching the rules on special deals under the Code on Takeovers and Mergers when it issued new shares to a director and shareholder during a general offer.
Regulatory enhancements
- Management and disclosure of climate-related risks by fund managers: We concluded a consultation on amendments to the Fund Manager Code of Conduct to require fund managers managing collective investment schemes to take climate-related risks into consideration in their investment and risk management processes and provide investors with appropriate disclosures.
- Anti-money laundering: We issued consultation conclusions on proposed amendments to our anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) guidelines to align them with the Financial Action Task Force’s standards and provide additional guidance for the implementation of risk-based AML/CFT measures.
- Investor identification: We concluded a consultation on an investor identification regime for the securities market in Hong Kong and an over-the-counter securities transactions reporting regime for shares listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.
Enforcement
- Disciplinary actions: We disciplined two licensed corporations and five individuals during the quarter, resulting in total fines of $11.95 million.
- Market surveillance: We made 2,733 requests for trading and account records triggered by untoward price and turnover movements.
- Unregulated virtual asset platforms: We issued a statement to clarify that no entity in the Binance group is licensed or registered to conduct regulated activities in Hong Kong and investors should exercise extreme caution if they plan to invest in stock tokens offered on unregulated platforms.
- Joint operations with the Police and ICAC: In our separate joint operations with the Police and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) involving listed companies, the Police arrested two persons for suspected conspiracy to defraud, theft and money-laundering and the ICAC arrested six persons for suspected corruption offences.
Regulatory engagement
- International: In September, our Chief Executive Officer Mr Ashley Alder chaired a special meeting of the Board of the International Organization of Securities Commissions which discussed liquidity risks in open-ended funds and the resilience of money market funds.
- Green and sustainable finance: The Hong Kong Green and Sustainable Finance Cross-Agency Steering Group, co- chaired by the SFC and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, announced the next steps to advance its collaborative strategy to help transition the financial ecosystem towards carbon neutrality.
Stakeholders
- New alert list: We introduced a new feature on our website to warn the public about unauthorised investment arrangements suspected to be collective investment schemes, which may not be offered to the public in Hong Kong without the SFC’s authorisation.
- Regulatory forum: We hosted the fourth SFC Regulatory Forum in November to exchange views with senior policymakers, professionals and industry participants on Hong Kong’s future development as China’s international financial centre.
