Hong Kong to Launch 'New Capital Investor Entry Scheme' Next Year, Requires HKD 30 Million Investment
Introduction of New Capital Investor Entry Scheme
The Hong Kong government has announced that it will implement a 'New Capital Investor Entry Scheme' starting next year. This scheme revives a program that was suspended in 2015 and aims to promote the development of Hong Kong's asset management industry and family offices. Applicants wishing to enter the scheme must invest a minimum of HKD 30 million, with at least HKD 27 million to be invested in approved financial assets such as stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, and eligible collective investment schemes.
Minimum Investment Requirements and Scheme Objectives
The remaining HKD 3 million must be allocated to a new 'Capital Investor Entry Scheme Portfolio,' which will be used to invest in Hong Kong's innovation and technology industries. The Hong Kong Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury emphasized that this new scheme will help in the development of Hong Kong's financial services. The initiative is part of a strategy to stimulate Hong Kong's economy and attract high-net-worth individuals, thereby strengthening its position as an international financial hub.
