practice in administering the Unified Funds Tax Exemption which

The Unified Funds Tax Exemption
The Unified Funds Tax Exemption seeks to exempt hedge funds,
including OFCs and LPFs, from Hong Kong profits tax. This exemption
may apply regardless of the fund structure, location of the
fund s central management and control, fund size or fund
purpose provided that prescribed conditions are satisfied.
Unlike the Offshore Funds Exemption, there is no longer a bias
against Hong Kong. Firstly, there is no longer any need to
artificially maintain fund management and control overseas.
