The Process

(1) File a Form LPF1: Application for Registration of Limited Partnership Fund

We collect the necessary information from yourselves and complete the Form LPF1 on your behalf:

  • Name of the Fund (which needs to be in compliance with relevant ordinance)

  • Registered Address, which needs to be in Hong Kong (we can provide use of our address)

  • Description of proposed investment scope

  • Principal place of business of the LPF, and relevant contact information

  • Information on the General Partner

  • Information on Authorised Representative (as applicable)

  • Information on Responsible Person (a role that we can fill)

  • Presenter's Information (which must be a Hong Kong law firm or Hong Kong solicitor)

  • Details on the Investment Manager

  • Additional ancillary information

​

The above is not simply an information gathering exercise but, in addition, we will advise you throughout the process. For example, who or what type of entity can act as a GP, and when is an Authorised Representative necessary, among various other criteria and decisions to be made.

​

We file the Form LPF1 on your behalf in person at the Companies Registry in Admiralty, Hong Kong.

​

We can, at the same time, also make payment of the registration fee (currently HK$3,034) on your behalf.

​

Upon successful application, a "Certificate of Registration of Limited Partnership Fund" will normally be issued within 4 working days.

​

We will, on your behalf, collect the Certificate of Registration from the Companies Registry in Admiralty.

(2) Enter into a Limited Partnership Agreement

The Limited Partnership Ordinance requires that the Fund be constituted by a Limited Partnership Agreement (an "LPA") with the GP and at least one LP as the parties thereto. 

​

The LPA is a private document and does not need to be submitted to the Companies Registry.

​

We have a comprehensive and flexible LPA for the purposes of initial LPF set-up.

​

We will enter in the relevant information to make it applicable to your LPF and help you to execute the LPA via DocuSign.

​

This LPA will be an enforceable agreement that satisfies the requirement under the Limited Partnership Ordinance.

​

You will have the option to further tailor this agreement, by way of amending it, as you see fit.
