Hong Kong offers two domestic fund vehicles: the open-ended fund company (OFC), a corporate structure with variable capital and segregated sub-funds, and the limited partnership fund (LPF), a contractual structure built for private equity and venture capital. As at July 2026 the Companies Registry recorded 765 OFCs and 1,842 LPFs. Both rely on the unified funds exemption in section 20AN of the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap. 112), but the conditions differ — and only an OFC can access the Government grant administered by the SFC.
