                   SFC Reprimands and Fines Sino-Rich Securities & Futures Limited $2 Million

                   and Suspends Its Responsible Officer for Failures in Relation to Margin Lending

                   Practices (2025/5/12)


                        The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has reprimanded and fined

                   Sino-Rich Securities & Futures Limited (Sino-Rich) $2 million for failures

                   concerning its margin lending policy and practices .


                        The SFC has also suspended the licence of Mr Budihardjo Wilhelm Soeharsono

                   (Budihardjo), a responsible officer and a manager-in-charge of Sino-Rich, for five

                   months and two weeks from 8 May 2025 to 22 October 2025 .


                        The SFC’s investigation found that, between 1 December 2017 and 30

                   September 2019, Sino-Rich failed to adequately document its margin lending policy

                   and strictly enforce a requirement that the credit limits of its clients were set by

                   reference to objective proof of their net income or net worth. The firm also failed to

                   require written explanations to justify deviations from its margin lending policy.


                        The aforesaid failures of Sino-Rich constitute breaches of the Code of Conduct.



                        The SFC considers that Sino-Rich’s failures were attributable to Budihardjo’s

                   failure to discharge his duties as a responsible officer and a member of the senior

                   management of Sino-Rich.


                        In deciding the disciplinary sanctions against Sino-Rich and Budihardjo, the SFC

                   took into account all relevant considerations, including the following:


                           They were previously disciplined by the SFC in 2021 for Sino-Rich’s

                            failures in complying with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist

                            financing regulatory requirements when handling cash deposits and
