Hong Kong investor watchdog flags risks of trading tokenized funds on secondary market
- —IEC listed four risks: price gaps, liquidity, price fragmentation and market-maker reliance
- —Investors told to study the underlying fund's objectives, strategy and risks
- —Off-chain settlement and possible trading halts were flagged as additional risks
- —Subscription and redemption at NAV was cited as an alternative to secondary trading
Why it matters: Hong Kong is tightening scrutiny of the fast-growing tokenized fund sector, and the warning could cool retail demand for secondary-market trading in such products.
