The SFC administers a grant scheme funded by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to provide subsidies for qualified open-ended fund companies (OFCs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs) to set up in Hong Kong. The grant scheme covers eligible expenses incurred in relation to the incorporation or re-domiciliation of an OFC or the listing of a REIT and paid to Hong Kong-based service providers.
The three-year grant scheme was launched on 10 May 2021 and has been extended for another three years. The extended grant scheme accepts applications from 10 May 2024 until 9 May 2027. Applicants are welcome to consult the SFC about their eligibility before making an application by emailing to grantscheme@sfc.hk or contacting the relevant case officers in charge.
