To ensure Hong Kong markets remain competitive internationally, the SFC

participated in formulating a proposal to maintain normal market trading and other

HKEX to strengthen the listing market through the introduction of treasury shares

On investor protection and combatting misconduct, the SFC secured the

conviction of three individuals involved in a highly sophisticated market manipulation

scheme following a landmark High Court jury trial. Also, the regulator disciplined

five individuals in the quarter, suspending their licences or prohibiting them from

entering the industry for seven months to four years. To keep the public scam-savvy

and caution investors against suspicious activities, the SFC added nine entities as well

as four investment products onto its alert lists last quarter. It also launched a TV

commercial and radio advertising campaign to raise anti-investment scam awareness

and joined other local financial regulators in April to support the Anti-Scam

Consumer Protection Charter 2.0 to assist the public in guarding against investment
scams and digital frauds.
