AIMA invites you to join our webinar on Wednesday 21 May 2025.

IOSCO periodically collects hedge fund data from member jurisdictions on a periodic basis. Historically, Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has gathered this data from the local industry through ad hoc surveys to fulfil Hong Kong’s IOSCO reporting obligations.

Given the growing population of licensed hedge fund managers, the SFC now proposes to collect hedge fund data via a periodic submission using the existing Financial Resources Return (FRR) form, to streamline data collection for IOSCO reporting purposes and supervisory oversight.

The SFC recently proposed revisions to FRR Form 12 and Annex A, which will become effective starting from the June 2025 reporting period, with the first submission due by 21 July 2025.

In this webinar, senior representatives from the SFC will walk attendees through the revised FRR form and explanatory notes, addressing common queries and areas requiring further clarification. Participants will also have the opportunity to pose questions directly to the SFC during an interactive Q&A session.

• Irene Tsao, Director, Intermediaries Supervision, Intermediaries, SFC
