We all knows many Mainland Chinese visit Hong Kong to purchase insurance products. However, due to Mainland China's capital and foreign exchange controls, clients from the Mainland have no idea how to carry money from the Mainland to Hong Kong legally and conveniently.

On the other hand, HK insurance agents and brokers inevitably receive questions from clients and friends in relation to the investment opportunities or business models in China.

In view of this, this course is designed to comprehensively explain the details of China's capital and foreign exchange controls applicable to personal clients. Since China's capital and foreign exchange controls cover different scopes, the control measures are originated from different laws, administrative notices, and guidelines.

After attending this course, attendees will be able to understand the overall concept of China's capital and FX controls, how Mainland Chinese legitimately carry funds to HK for insurance products (e.g., whether remitting money from the Mainland to China via exchange shops in HK is legal or not). To further assist attendees to advise their clients in relation to wealth allocation inside and out of China, this course also talk about the investment mechanism in China, and legitimate funds transferal channels between China, HK and overseas.


Course Outline
This course is divided into 4 parts. 
 
(i) The background information on China’s capital and foreign exchange controls. Control is divided into two categories, the control under current accounts, and under capital accounts. 
 
(ii) The restrictions and rules under current account, i.e., foreign exchange income and expenditure related to business, trading, or daily consumption. E.g., Is there any legitimate channels to send funds from the Mainland China to HK for insurance products? How much cash a passenger can carry when he enters Mainland China? What are the practical procedures when applying remittance out of China?  
 
(iii) The restrictions and rules under capital account, i.e., foreign exchange relating to investment. What are QFII? QDII? Private funds in China? China Connect & Wealth Management Connect?
 
(iv) Some daily phenomena that seem to violate the China's capital and foreign exchange controls. E.g., why Mainland Chinese can make a huge sum of consumption and withdraw large amounts of cash as if they are not under any foreign exchange control, why using money exchange shops in Hong Kong to get around the capital and foreign exchange mechanism.
