Please note that the Commission will not apply nor issue penalty fees for late submission until after 30 April 2020.

The Commission will continue to issue updates to the industry. Please direct any questions regarding this notice and the payment of annual license fees for entities holding investment business licenses, mutual funds, and approved managers to [email protected].

We ask for your continued patience as we take these necessary steps to safeguard the health and well-being of our employees at this time.  

We anticipate that response times to queries and the processing time of some transactions may be minimally affected during this period.
