These licenses cover various regulated activities:
- Type 1: Dealing in securities, enabling the firm to facilitate financial instrument trades.
- Type 2: Dealing in futures contracts, allowing transactions for future asset agreements.
- Type 4: Advising on securities, offering tailored investment advice.
- Type 5: Advising on futures contracts, providing guidance across asset classes.
- Type 9: Asset management, managing investment portfolios to achieve financial goals.
These licenses empower LTP HK to offer a broad range of services, from trading and futures contracts to investment advice and asset management. This comprehensive approach ensures clients receive top-tier services in both customary and virtual asset markets.
