Explore Expansion Potential
In June 2020, the Peoples’ Bank of China, Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and the Monetary Authority of Macao jointly announced development of the Greater Bay Wealth Management Connect pilot scheme to facilitate cross-boundary investments of residents in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Under the scheme, Mainland residents will be able to access eligible investment products distributed by banks in Hong Kong and Macau, while Hong Kong and Macau residents will be able to tap investment offerings from Mainland banks.
Do You Know?
Under the scheme, Hong Kong financial institutions may have access to access more than 70 million people in the Guangdong Hong Kong-Macao area.
Highlights of the scheme:
- Mainland residents will be able to access eligible investment products distributed by banks in Hong Kong and Macau, while Hong Kong and Macau residents will be able to tap investment offerings from Mainland banks
- Retail wealth management products under the scheme will be governed by the respective local laws and regulations as well as follow international best practices
- Cross-boundary remittances will be conducted and managed in a closed-loop system through the bundling of the designated investment and remittance accounts to ensure the funds are invested only in eligible products
- There will be aggregate and individual investor quotas in place
