Private trusts and their beneficiaries are not filed on any public register in Hong Kong — but any firm providing trust services for a fee must itself hold a TCSP licence under the Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance.
Reforms to the Trust and Trustees Ordinance removed the old perpetuity limits for Hong Kong-law trusts, so a properly drafted trust can run indefinitely rather than expiring after a fixed period.
Hong Kong trust law includes provisions that shield a validly constituted trust from being unwound by a foreign forced-heirship or matrimonial claim.
A licensed trustee must carry out and keep updating KYC on settlors and beneficiaries — this is an ongoing obligation, not a one-time check at setup.
Where trust assets include shares in a Hong Kong company, the arrangement generally needs to be reflected correctly in that company's Significant Controllers Register.
