Securities and Futures Commission

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) is a regulatory body responsible for overseeing Hong Kong's financial markets. It ensures that trading of stocks, bonds, and derivatives is fair, transparent, and conducted with integrity. The SFC enforces laws to protect investors, reduces financial crime, and promotes a stable market environment. It licenses market participants like brokers and fund managers, monitors their actions, and takes enforcement actions when rules are violated. Its goal is to maintain confidence in Hong Kong's financial system and support the growth of a fair and efficient capital market.
