HKEx is responsible for?

• A. Manage the business of exchange and clearing
• B. Enforce HKEx listing, trading, clearing, and settlement rules
• C. Both of the above
• D. Regulate insurance agents

Answer: (C)

HKEx operates and oversees Hong Kong’s securities markets. It runs the exchange and the clearing entities, handling the day-to-day business of listing, trading, clearing, and settlement. It also enforces the rules that govern these activities, ensuring participants follow the standards set for listing and for how trades are conducted and settled. Regulation of insurance agents lies outside HKEx’s remit, so that part is not part of HKEx’s responsibilities. The combination of running the market and enforcing its own rules is why the choice stating both aspects is correct.
