UNDERSTANDING LPF · Understanding Hong Kong LPF

The flexibility of the fund structure,
From clearBoundaries of liability.

An LPF is registered under the Limited Partnership Fund Ordinance, with a written limited partnership agreement linking general and limited partners. It is commonly used for private equity, venture capital and family wealth investment structures.

Registration is not a financial services licence and does not automatically confer tax exemption. The investment manager's actual activities, fundraising methods and cross-border arrangements still require item-by-item verification.

01 / FLEXIBILITY

Tailor Governance through the Partnership Agreement

Arrange contribution commitments, capital calls, distributions, exits and transfers around the actual investment strategy.

02 / ACCOUNTABILITY

Clear roles, no gaps in responsibility

The GP bears management and ultimate responsibility, while the LP has limited liability in principle; the IM and RP perform investment and anti-money laundering functions respectively.

03 / CONNECTIVITY

Based in Hong Kong, connected internationally

Bring offshore fund re-domiciliation, bank due diligence, tax and cross-border regulation into a unified project framework.

Document preparation, bank account opening and additional licence applications are handled separately and are outside this registration-processing timeframe; no timeframe is guaranteed.

DREW'S PERSPECTIVE · Practical guidance from Drew Tang

The certificate of registration is the starting point,
Not the end of compliance.

“First clarify the investment strategy, personnel roles and fund flows, then decide on the registration route. A robust fund structure should consider operations and exit from the outset.”
