Hong Kong is preparing a major tax regime overhaul that would exempt private equity—and potentially hedge fund—managers from tax on carried interest and performance fees at both corporate and individual levels, according to a March 2 proposal to the Legislative Council. The proposed changes would expand on earlier reforms, including 2021 carried-interest exemptions, and could also extend benefits to hedge funds depending on structuring. The government plans to introduce the bill in the first half of the year, with possible retroactive application to 2025. Additional proposed enhancements include expanding qualifying investments to cover funds-of-one, pensions, endowments, digital assets, carbon credits, precious metals, and commodities, as well as tax breaks for family offices, private credit funds, and corporate treasury operations.

Analysts lowered expectations for Tesla Inc.’s 2026 EV deliveries to about 1.69 million units from 1.75 million in December, signaling a slower recovery after two years of declining demand. The revised forecast implies modest growth from 1.64 million vehicles sold in 2025. First-quarter deliveries are projected at 364,645 units, up about 8.6% year over year. The prior period was affected by backlash tied to Elon Musk’s political role and production disruptions from a Model Y refresh.
