Cap. 637 in depth: registering a Hong Kong LPF, the general partner's duties, the safe harbours for limited partners, and the AML responsibilities that come with the vehicle.
The Limited Partnership Fund Ordinance gave Hong Kong a domestic fund vehicle built for private equity and venture capital — one that private funds could actually use, rather than defaulting offshore. Uptake has been substantial, and with it a need for advisers who understand the regime properly.
This course covers the vehicle end to end. It starts with eligibility and the registration process, including the roles that must be filled: the general partner, the investment manager, the authorised representative where required, and the responsible person carrying out AML functions.
It then examines the operation of the fund — capital contributions and withdrawals, the safe harbour activities that let a limited partner participate without losing limited liability, financial reporting and audit, and the statutory records that must be kept. The course closes with dissolution, deregistration, and the fund re-domiciliation route that lets an existing offshore fund migrate into Hong Kong.
