Woman faces charges for unlicensed fund management business

If convicted, she will be fined up to $150,000 or detained for up to three years.

A woman was charged for violation of the Securities and Futures Act (SFA) after she carried on fund management business without securing a capital markets services licence, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) revealed.

She was allegedly managing her clients’ portfolio of capital markets products and entering into spot foreign exchange contracts to oversee her clients’ funds between 14 December 2017 and 30 June 2020.

With this, the individual identified as Lee Ying Hui, was charged under section 82(1) of SFA, which indicated that no person shall carry on a fund management business, a regulated activity in the SFA, without a capital markets services licence issued by the MAS.

If found guilty, Lee will be fined up to $150,000 or jailed for a term of up to three years, or both.

Capital Markets

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
