Hey there, finance superstars! Today, we’re diving into a super hot topic – the recognition of mainland financial qualifications in Hong Kong. But wait! There’s a big pitfall here, so don’t jump in too fast! Ready? Let’s go! 🚀
Mutual Recognition Policy Unveiled 🔍
Remember the 2004 CEPA agreement? It made our mainland qualifications usable in Hong Kong! But… don’t celebrate too soon~
💡 Key Reminder: Qualification recognition doesn’t equal direct practice!
SFC Licensing Double Hurdle – Did You Know? 🚧🚧
To apply for an SFC (Securities and Futures Commission) license in Hong Kong, you need to meet TWO requirements:
- Industry Qualification Exam (Papers 7-12) ✅
- Local Regulatory Framework Exam (Papers 1-6) ✅
❗❗Super Important Reminder❗❗ Mainland experience and certificates can only exempt you from the Industry Qualification Exam (Papers 7-12). For the Local Regulatory Framework Exam (Papers 1-6), everyone still needs to take it!
