Membership Categories
As a professional organisation for the securities and investment industry in the region, the Institute provides three membership categories for different stakeholders of the industry; namely, the Corporate Membership, the Individual Membership and Student Membership.
Corporate membership in the HKSI is open to securities firms, investment houses, banks and other organisations, who seek to be actively involved in the industry, are keen to raise and sustain high standards in securities and investment, and would like to participate in the Institute's policy making and securities related activities.
Practitioners in the securities and investment industry will be eligible to apply to join the Institute if they meet the requirements for Individual Membership.
To address the needs of different practitioners, the Institute has provided a multi-tier membership structure with Honorary Fellow / Fellow at the top.
Honorary Fellow / Fellow (FHKSI(Hon)/FHKSI)
The HKSI Honorary Fellow / Fellow is reserved for Ordinary Members who have made a significant contribution to the development of the Institute and industry through their association with the HKSI.
Ordinary Member (MHKSI)
This membership type is open to practitioner if they have the required qualification and 3 year industry experience.
Associate Member (AHKSI)
For young practitioners with less industry experience or new entrants to the industry,
they might join the Institute as associate.
Affiliate Member (HKSI Aff)
This category is for non-practitioners or persons who are interested to keep abreast of the industry trends.
Student Member
Candidates enroling in any HKSI Approved Qualifications (CIWM/CIIA/PDFM/DPE/LE) will be offered a one-year complimentary Student Membership. They are encouraged to progress to Individual Membership if they have attained the required qualification and industry experience.
