The first phase of the Integrated Fund Platform was launched on 13 December 2024 with the Fund Repository coming online : Explore the Fund Repository.

The Fund Repository will provide investors with a one-stop access to information on Hong Kong retail funds, streamlining access to essential information for investors. This is a key part of the new financial infrastructure in Hong Kong aiming to enhance product transparency as well as to facilitate the building of an electronic ecosystem for retail fund distribution.

As previously reported in our News & Insights, the next stage of the Integrated Fund Platform is to build a business platform and a communications network to facilitate dealing of funds on a business-to-business basis between fund managers and distributors.
