Circular to intermediaries Obtaining client consent under the Hong Kong Investor Identification Regime for the exchange-traded derivatives market (HKIDR-DM)
Action requiredConduct
What the SFC said
The SFC sets out how intermediaries must obtain express consent from individual clients to collect and transfer their personal data to the SFC and HKEX under the derivatives investor identification regime. Consent must be explicit, explained, authenticated and recorded; without it, a client may only close existing open positions.
