“Fees have dropped since bourse operator Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. in 2003 removed a brokerage commission floor of 0.25 percent of the value of transactions, squeezing profits for brokers as mainland Chinese rivals expand operations. Eleven brokerages have ceased trading this year, according to filings posted on the website of the Hong Kong stock exchange. The number of local broking firms may decline to 300 from about 400 in the next five years, Mofiz Chan, a spokesman of the Hong Kong Securities & Futures Professionals Association, said. ‘There are many people taking part-time jobs or completely moving out of the industry,” Chan said.”
