Hong Kong’s BEA launches WMC 2.0 Southbound services

BEA offers 250 eligible fund products under the expanded WMC scheme.

The Bank of East Asia (BEA) has launched cross-boundary wealth management connect 2.0 (WMC) Southbound services.

WMC 2.0 expands investment opportunities southbound, providing BEA and its China business, BEA China, to offer expanded services.

Under the WMC 2.0 scheme, the eligibility for Chinese mainland investors has been expanded while the individual investor quota has been raised to RMB3m.
