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.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
