Announcement on the amendments to Rules for the Capital Investment Entrant Scheme w.e.f. 14 October 2010 (ImmD web page, archived 20 Dec 2012)

ImmD web announcement (archived Dec 2012) of the CIES rule amendments from 14 Oct 2010: threshold and net-asset requirement raised from HK$6.5m to HK$10m, real estate suspended, Class C insurers allowed as financial intermediaries, three-yearly review, transitional rule for investments made in the six months before; share of entrants who invested before applying (around 11%); cumulative admissions since 2003 (around 8,200 investors, 15,500 dependants, around $58bn); and the separate 6 Jul 2010 refinement admitting investment-linked assurance products (event already recorded). The 14 Oct 2010 threshold change is already an event from hkg-isd-pr-cies-amended-2010. This pass adds the four numbers, the HK$10m rule row and the intermediary event. Rules restated from other sources are now recorded from this document too (decision 8).
