Under Section 114 of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571), carrying on a business in a regulated activity without a license constitutes a serious criminal offence, punishable upon conviction by a fine of up to HK$5,000,000 and 7 years imprisonment. The SFC categorizes financial licensing into 10 regulated activities: primary classes include Type 9 (Asset Management: hedge funds, private equity managers, discretionary family offices), Type 1 (Dealing in Securities: brokerage houses), Type 4 (Advising on Securities: research & equity advisory), and Type 6 (Corporate Finance: IPO sponsors). 86hc.com connects directly to the SFC public register to verify corporate standing, Central Entity (CE) numbers, and scope of authorized activities.
Pursuant to Section 125 of the SFO, the SFC enforces a strict "Dual Responsible Officer (RO)" rule: every licensed corporation must employ at least two SFC-approved Responsible Officers for each regulated activity it conducts, with at least one RO serving as an executive director ordinarily resident in Hong Kong. If a key regulated activity loses an RO, the corporation faces immediate regulatory sanctions, licence suspension, or prohibitions against onboarding new clients. 86hc.com tracks RO rosters and licensed representatives to prevent management vacuum risks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Common inquiries on SFC Type 1-10 regulated activity licensing, CE Number verification, RO statutory requirements, NAR1 filings, and CPA CTC certifications.
What is an SFC Licensed Corporation and how does it differ from a standard Hong Kong company?
+
Under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571), an SFC Licensed Corporation is a corporate entity authorized by the SFC to conduct one or more regulated activities. Standard companies holding only a Certificate of Incorporation (CI) and Business Registration (BR) are legally prohibited from dealing in securities, futures, or managing assets. Conducting regulated activities without an SFC license is a serious criminal offence punishable by up to HK$5,000,000 fine and 7 years imprisonment.
What is an SFC Central Entity (CE) Number and how to verify it on 86hc.com?
+
The Central Entity Number (CE No.) is a unique statutory alphanumeric identifier (e.g. 3 letters + 3 digits, like BQV709) assigned by the SFC to every licensed corporation and registered individual. On 86hc.com, search by company name, BRN, or CE number to inspect real-time licensing standing, effective dates, and accredited Responsible Officers.
What regulated activities do SFC Types 1, 4, and 9 licenses represent?
+
Under SFO Schedule 5: ① Type 1 (Dealing in Securities): brokerage trading and underwriting; ② Type 4 (Advising on Securities): investment advisory and research reports; ③ Type 9 (Asset Management): managing discretionary portfolios, private equity, and hedge funds. Most asset managers hold Types 4 and 9 concurrently.
What is the "Dual Responsible Officer (RO)" rule and why is it critical for SFC compliance?
+
Under SFO Section 125, an SFC licensed corporation must maintain at least two approved Responsible Officers for each regulated activity, with at least one RO being an executive director based in Hong Kong. ROs carry personal civil and criminal liability for regulatory compliance. An RO vacancy can paralyze regulated operations.
Can I retrieve historical NAR1 Annual Returns and shareholder registers for an SFC Licensed Corporation?
+
Yes. 86hc.com connects directly to the Companies Registry ICRIS database to retrieve official Form NAR1, Form NNC1, and Form ND2A filings within 15–30 minutes, complete with official receipt timestamps and anti-counterfeiting barcodes.
How does 86hc.com screen SFC disciplinary actions and regulatory sanctions?
+
86hc.com monitors enforcement notices published under SFO Part IX, tracking public reprimands, pecuniary fines, licence bans, and High Court winding-up petitions to provide institutional-grade due diligence risk reports.
What is the role of a Practising CPA Certified True Copy (CTC) for an SFC fund manager?
+
Licensed asset managers opening custodian accounts, prime broker lines, or offshore SPVs require official filings certified by a Hong Kong Practising CPA. CTC copies issued through 86hc.com strictly comply with HKMA and international KYC guidelines.
