Quick answer

LEI for Asset Managers in Hong Kong Hong Kong asset managers need an LEI at firm level and at fund level for the SFC OTC Derivatives Regime and AIFMD-style reporting. The manager and each reporting fund are distinct legal entities, each with its own LEI.

Firm and fund LEIs in Hong Kong

The management firm holds its own LEI; each fund that is a reporting entity holds one too. Hong Kong authorised institutions, SFC-licensed corporations, collective investment schemes, and MPF trustees all meet the LEI at fund level.

Where the LEI is used

In the SFC OTC Derivatives Regime derivative and transaction reporting.
In AIFMD Annex IV and equivalent submissions.
In investor and distributor reference data.
