HKEX Launches New Services on Hong Kong Fund Platform
The Hong Kong exchange launched platform and nominee services on its Integrated Fund Platform on October 28.
The services connect fund distributors, fund managers and transfer agents through standardised digital processes.
They support fund holdings, payment and settlement, reconciliation and reporting.
The platform already includes a fund information repository launched in December 2024 and an order-routing service introduced in July 2025.
