Chapter 7: MPF Intermediaries
MPF Intermediaries Examination · Chapter 7: MPF Intermediaries
On what date did the statutory regulatory regime for MPF intermediaries take effect?
Why: Per section 7.1, the MPFSO (Amendment) Ordinance 2012 was enacted by LegCo in June 2012 but came into operation on 1 November 2012, establishing the statutory regime. B is the enactment month rather than the commencement date; A is the launch date of the MPF System itself, not the intermediary regime.
Under the statutory regime, which body is the sole authority empowered to impose disciplinary sanctions on registered MPF intermediaries?
Why: Sections 7.1 and 7.2.6 make clear that MA, IA and SFC act as frontline regulators (FRs) for supervision and investigation, but only the MPFA may impose disciplinary sanctions. FRs cannot directly issue disciplinary orders; they refer findings to the MPFA for decision.
