SFC concludes consultation on the investor identification regime for Hong Kong’s exchange-traded derivatives market

The Securities and Futures Commission intends to implement the HKIDR-DM, extending the investor identification regime to on-exchange orders for futures contracts, options contracts, and stock options executed through the Hong Kong Futures Exchange Limited. Licensed corporations and registered institutions offering brokerage services or conducting proprietary trading will be required to submit clients’ names and identity information to a centralized data repository. The regime targets implementation in the second quarter of 2028, subject to the completion of system testing and market rehearsals.
