Futu Obtains Clearing License in the U.S.
2019年6月3日 - 7:00PM
Futu Holdings Limited (“Futu” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:
FHL), a leading tech-driven online brokerage platform in
China, recently announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary in the
U.S., Futu Clearing Inc., has been officially granted a clearing
license by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).
To grant a clearing license, the SEC and FINRA
conduct comprehensive evaluations of an applicant’s regulatory
compliance, research and development capabilities, financial
strength and a number of other performances to ensure that such
applicant meets the required standards. Only a very small number of
applicants in the U.S. have obtained a clearing license. With the
clearing license and Futu’s proprietary clearing system, the
Company will be able to provide clearing, settlement and asset
custody services to customers and other introducing brokers in the
U.S, which will enable Futu to capture the full cycle of client
trades and maintain custody of its clients’ assets.
“We are pleased to obtain a clearing license in
the U.S.,” commented Mr. Leaf Hua Li, Futu’s Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. “I believe our strong technology capabilities
will ensure that our independent clearing system is highly reliable
and efficient, and that it provides the same smooth transaction
experience to which our users have become accustomed. The clearing
license demonstrates our strength in technology and market
influence, which will help diversify our revenue streams and
further solidify our foothold in the U.S. market. We will also have
more flexibility in terms of our product and service offerings, as
well as enhanced ability to reduce trading costs for our clients.
Going forward, we will continue to consider obtaining more licenses
in order to broaden our core service offerings and expand our
global presence.”
