4. New regulations for the incorporation, registration, and management of open-ended fund companies (OFC) resulting from the 2016 Amendments - introducing a new OFC structure allowing companies to be more flexible in their share issuing structure – just fully enacted this past July 2018;
5. New powers given to the Securities & Futures Commission to resolve a company under financial distress as a result of the Financial Institutions Ordinance (Cap.628);
6. Reviews the progress of the proposed on the HK Exchange’s company listing reforms – controversial as lawmakers/attorneys and the Securities Futures Commission have differing views;
7. New duty of care on Financial Institutions creating a new action in tort for damages – investors may now file a claim for damages if the financial products sold by these financial institutions are not reasonable suitable.
