In November 2017 the SFC announced amendments to the Fund Manager Code of Conduct (FMCC) and the Code of Conduct of Persons Licensed by or Registered with the Securities and Futures Commission SFC (Code of Conduct). These amendments impact the ways in which funds are marketed, operated and also the ways in which asset managers are to conduct their roles. The changes will become effective in August and November of 2018 respectively. The following course will provide information on the changes and what managers and persons licensed or registered with the SFC need to do to comply.
