Good evening, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.
It is a real pleasure to be with you this evening, in the Year of the Horse, to celebrate all that the Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute (HKSI) has achieved for our financial markets over many years.
Tonight, I want to underline a point that is sometimes taken for granted: HKSI is far more than just a training provider; it is an essential part of Hong Kong’s regulatory backbone. Under the Securities and Futures Commission’s (SFC) licensing framework, HKSI administers the Licensing Examination for Securities and Futures Intermediaries, a qualification we recognise as meeting the competence requirements for all types of regulated activities. In practice, passing your examinations is the gateway to an SFC licence – and it is the gateway to serving the investing public fairly and responsibly.
