As an international financial centre, Hong Kong has a vital role to play in the funds industry, and is committed to strengthening its position for investment and wealth creation in the region. Following the implementation of the unified tax exemption and open-ended fund company regime, Hong Kong continues to enhance its competitiveness with the introduction of the Limited Partnership Fund (LPF) regime.

Hong Kong is the second largest private equity hub in Asia after mainland China¹. As a world-leading IPO market for private equity-backed companies and with close proximity to mainland China, Hong Kong is well placed to further expand its private equity business. China's Greater Bay Area initiative and the drive of the Renminbi internationalization further positions Hong Kong to become a jurisdiction of choice for private funds in Asia.
