About RETU

A Hong Kong financial-industry consultancy.

RETU Consulting Limited works with Hong Kong trading institutions — brokers, futures, proprietary and electronic-trading firms — getting them licensed, building the systems that meet the SFC’s technology and record-keeping rules, and carrying the compliance function as their outsourced compliance officer. Investment advisory sits alongside.

RETU is a consultancy for the technical, trading-firm end of the regulated finance industry — brokers, futures, proprietary and electronic-trading houses. We take a firm from a Hong Kong idea to an authorised, running business: the SFC, MSO or TCSP licence, the Responsible Officer arrangements, and the compliance and operating model the regulator expects.

Once a firm is live, we keep the function running. That can be ongoing compliance advisory, or a compliance officer fully outsourced to us; risk frameworks built for trading institutions; SFC inspection readiness; and self-built trading and IT infrastructure that meets the SFC’s technology and cybersecurity requirements.

How we work.

The disciplines that hold across every engagement.

01

Regulator-grade, not box-ticking

Everything we build is measured against what the SFC actually expects — the manual, the framework and the filing are made to stand up to inspection, not just to exist.

02

End-to-end, not piecemeal

From the licence application through to a live, compliant operation. The same team that gets you authorised can keep the function running afterwards.

03

We can carry the function

Compliance and technology are not only advised on — where you want it, we take the function on wholesale and run it as if it were in-house.

04

Clear on the regulated line

RETU advises and builds; it is not itself a licensed corporation. Regulated activity is always carried out by the appropriately licensed entity.
