With the help of advisors, we put together a submission (enclosed) which was submitted to FSTB on 2 August 2013.

HKTO Amendment Bill
(a) The long journey
Hong Kong is a major financial services and trust centre, but its primary trust law, the HKTO, has not been modified since 1934 while other comparable jurisdictions have embarked on modernizing their trust legislation over the past decade. The HKTA and STEP saw the need to modernise our trust law and over the last 8-9 years, we have worked closely with, and provided substantive support to, the FSTB. Today I am very happy to report that the Amendment Bill was passed by the Legislative Council, which will take effect on 1 December 2013.
