The Securities and Futures Ordinance (SFO) mandates that any corporation involved in one or more of the SFO’s regulated activities must obtain a licence from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC).

Such regulated activities include dealing in securities or futures contracts, leveraged foreign exchange trading, advising on securities, futures contracts or corporate finance, providing automated trading services, securities margin financing, asset management and providing credit rating services.To legally operate within Hong Kong, companies engaging in these activities are required to secure a licence from the SFC.
