FINI - A New Era for Hong Kong’s IPO market

Overview

FINI (Fast Interface for New Issuance) is a new digital platform through which IPO market participants and regulators can manage the end-to-end settlement process for new listings in Hong Kong.

FINI modernises the IPO settlement process and will shorten the time gap between IPO pricing and trading, giving investors quicker access to new listings, reducing market risk and improving efficiency for all parties involved.
