Change in Value of Investment ( Applications submitted on or after 14 October 2010 )

The entrant is not required to top up the value of his investment should the value of his total investment under the Scheme fall below the requisite minimum level of HK$10 million*(For details, please click here). He is also not allowed to withdraw any capital gain from his investment if its market value rises above the requisite level. Cash dividend income and interest income derived from permissible financial assets can be retained by the entrant and need not be ring-fenced under the Scheme. The entrant is free to switch his investments from one permissible financial asset to another (e.g. from equities to debt securities or vice versa) provided that the entire proceeds from the sale of the initial assets are reinvested. He should keep a record of every change to his investment portfolio for the purpose of applying for extension of stay in Hong Kong.

* The investment threshold (and Net assets or Net equity requirement) has been raised from HK$6.5 million to HK$10 million with effect from 14 October 2010.
