富途创始人回应监管新政:两年整治期限制入金买入,合规推进国际化
Odaily Planet Daily reported that Futu Holdings founder Li Hua responded to the new cross-border securities business rectification regulations jointly issued by eight departments on May 22 during the Q1 2026 earnings call. He emphasized that this adjustment is a unified industry-wide requirement. During the two-year rectification period for mainland clients, it is not a closure of accounts but only restricts onshore deposits and purchases, allowing only one-way selling and fund transfers.
Li Hua stated that Futu has fully suspended new account openings for mainland identity holders, rejecting tens of thousands of non-compliant applications over the past two years. As of the end of the first quarter, mainland clients accounted for 13% of total clients, 17% of assets, and contributed approximately 20% of revenue. The company will actively embrace regulation, steadily advance compliance, and expects the new regulations not to affect its full-year target of 800,000 new client acquisitions, continuing to expand its international market.
Financial reports show that in the first quarter, Futu's revenue was HK$5.856 billion (YoY +24.7%), with net profit of HK$831 million (YoY -61.2%), mainly due to the proposed penalty of HK$1.85 billion from the Securities and Futures Commission.
