Securities and Futures Commission – Hong Kong
The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) is an independent statutory body set up in 1989 to regulate Hong Kong’s securities and futures markets. The SFC aims to ensure market integrity, transparency, and fairness, as well as to protect investors.
The SFC focuses on enhancing the regulatory framework to address new challenges, such as the rise of digital assets and the integration of financial technologies. It also promotes sustainability and green finance initiatives within the financial markets.
At AlertoPedia, we rate companies based on several key factors including regulatory status, website status, geographical licensing, and historical data concerning any warnings or sanctions from financial authorities, reflecting the company's trustworthiness.
Regulatory Influence
The licensing status of a company plays a significant role in our review process. Companies regulated by reputable authorities typically receive a more favorable rating, reflecting their adherence to stringent financial standards and consumer protection laws.
Ongoing Monitoring
Ratings are initially established based on the most current data available and are subject to change based on new information or regulatory actions. We continuously monitor regulatory actions and company behavior to ensure our ratings remain current and accurate.
