Project Details
This project involved advising an investment strategies platform on its regulatory obligations under Singapore’s Securities and Futures Act 2001.
Our work involved a detailed review of the platform’s business activities and structure, both in Singapore and in connection with the British Virgin Islands. We examined the relevant Singapore legislation, including the Securities and Futures Act 2001, the Payment Services Act 2019, and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2022, to evaluate how these laws might apply to the platform’s operations.
Based on our analysis, we drafted a comprehensive legal opinion outlining whether the platform’s activities would require any licensing or regulatory approvals under Singapore law and how the platform could implement a regulatory-compliant structure.
