HKEX proposes the revision of position limits & Large Open Position (LOP) reporting requirements

The Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) has issued a consultation paper on revising Position Limits and Large Open Position (LOP) reporting requirements. More specifically, HKEX proposes a) the revision of the position limit regime for single stock options (SSO) and futures. The proposal entails the inclusion of  2 additional tiers to the current 3-tier SSO position limit model and the expansion of their position limit; and b) the removal of the additional position limits and the revision of LOP reporting requirements for mini-Hang Seng Index and mini-Hang Seng China Enterprises Index derivatives contracts (“flagship-minis”). 

The Consultation period will remain open until 30 June 2022.
