The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) is a public regulator responsible for overseeing Hong Kong's securities and futures markets. It operates independently of the civil service and is funded mainly through levies on securities and futures transactions and license fees. Its core functions include licensing and supervising market intermediaries, enforcing industry-specific laws, monitoring market infrastructure and trading activities, and regulating listing and takeovers as well as investment products. By establishing a framework to support fair, orderly, and efficient markets, the SFC aims to protect investors and support the development of the industry for market participants in Hong Kong. Based on Hong Kong Island at 18 Westlands Road, Quarry Bay, the organization sits within the financial services landscape as Hong Kong's primary market regulator. In March 2026, the SFC announced a Generative Artificial Intelligence Sandbox++ programme in collaboration with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Insurance Authority, Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority, and Cyberport to explore AI applications in regulation and market operations.
