Abstract
Lehman Brothers collapse had affected tens of thousands of retail investors in Hong Kong. However, the territory’s laws are deficient, so aggrieved investors have little legal recourse. Enacting laws that impose duty to act in the best interests of the client, misleading and deceptive conduct, and more powers to the regulator could enhance legal safeguards for investors in Hong Kong.
