9 Feb 2026 Kylin International (HK) Co., LimitedSFC: HKD 9m fine for Kylin International over fund management failures Hong KongOrganisational requirements €968,909

The SFC publicly reprimanded Kylin International (HK) and fined it HKD 9 million for failures as investment manager or consultant of six sub-funds of a Cayman Islands fund from August 2018. The SFC found that conflicts of interest arising from six loans by the firm or a director to four sub-funds were neither managed nor disclosed, reconciliations, valuations and audits were missing, investors were wrongly told that the suitability requirement did not apply, KYC and suitability controls were inadequate and anti-money laundering records were missing. The firm ceased its regulated activities at the end of 2023; its licence was revoked at its request in January 2025.

What organisations can take from it
