HONG KONG – February 5, 2025 – With approval from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), HashKey Capital can now provide virtual asset (VA) discretionary account management services to professional investors under its Type 9 license.
The authorization allows HashKey Capital to manage a range of customizable investment products, including spot virtual asset investments and derivatives, and will develop and execute strategies for professional investors that meet their investment objectives within the scope of pre-approved exchanges.
HashKey Capital is one of the few fund companies approved by the SFC to provide virtual asset discretionary account management services. This license enables HashKey Capital to provide professional investors with comprehensive customized investment management services, including:
Tailor-made investment strategies – Professional investors can choose HashKey Capital’s preset investment strategies, or work with the team to develop their own investment plans. The plans are not limited to spot investments, but can also cover diversified products such as virtual asset over-the-counter (OTC), derivatives and staking to meet different investment needs.
Flexible choice of trading platforms – HashKey Capital is qualified to provide full discretionary account management services across multiple compliant exchanges, ensuring that clients are not restricted to a single platform. Clients can freely choose from a list of exchanges that have been rigorously reviewed and have industry-leading security, compliance and operational efficiency.
Efficiently executed investment strategy – Once the investment strategy is determined, HashKey Capital will be responsible for the entire process of execution, including autonomous buying and selling, asset allocation, continuous monitoring, rebalancing and detailed reporting, allowing professional investors to focus on broader asset management goals while ensuring the steady growth of the portfolio.
Through an efficient discretionary account management model, HashKey Capital will help professional investors participate in the virtual asset market more efficiently while ensuring a strict level of risk management.
In the past, investors were cautious about investing in crypto assets due to market risks. Through discretionary accounts, we provide investment solutions managed by a professional team to accompany clients in exploring the crypto asset space and ensure that the investment portfolio is aligned with their strategic goals. - Vivien Wong, Partner at HashKey Capital (Liquid Funds)
The discretionary account management service is not only an efficient investment management tool, but also in line with Hong Kongs strategic vision of building a virtual asset hub in the Asia-Pacific region. At present, the virtual asset regulatory framework launched by Hong Kong is globally forward-looking, but due to the breadth and complexity of the market, the regulatory framework for some investment products (such as OTC and derivatives) is still being improved.
The approval of HashKey Capital to provide discretionary account management services is significant in filling this gap in the market. HashKey Capital can help professional investors explore these emerging investment opportunities safely and compliantly amid increasing regulatory clarity.
Professional investors want to seize key opportunities in the crypto asset market while ensuring compliance. Through discretionary account management, HashKey Capital can help institutional investors balance compliance requirements while flexibly deploying new products and ensuring the robustness of investment strategies. - Vivien Wong, Partner (Liquid Funds) at HashKey Capital
