Hong Kong's fund management industry has developed a strong expertise of investing in Asia, in particular the Chinese mainland. Such expertise is vital to Hong Kong's appeal for attracting funds for management.

As of 2015, mainland-related groups of companies had established a total of 270 licensed corporations or registered institutions in Hong Kong, according to the SFC. The number of funds managed by these companies had risen from 253 in 2014 to 283 in 2015. In January 2017, 54 cross-border funds were approved under Mutual Recognition of Funds (MRF) scheme, which consisted of 6 Hong Kong funds and 48 Chinese mainland funds. In December 2016, the “Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect” was officially launched, providing an alternative route for Hong Kong fund management companies to invest in one of the mainland’s bourses.
