What documents can I use to get my Professional Investor (PI) status verified?

Please upload documents such as:

  • One or more statements of accounts issued by a bank or brokerage firm (either in your name or with your spouse or your children on a joint account basis), dated not more than 3 months ago
  • A certificate issued by an auditor or certified public accountant, dated not more than 3 months ago
  • A public filing# submitted by or on behalf of the individual, dated not more than 3 months ago
  • A copy of the agreement (if any), in cases where your share of a portfolio on a joint account with persons other than your associates is concerned.

# Public filing means a document that a person or body is under a duty to publish pursuant to legal or regulatory requirements in Hong Kong (e.g. published financial results of a listed company etc.)

Please note: pursuant to the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong, you are required to provide such supporting documents on an annual basis to renew your Professional Investor status.
