Employees of fund companies can open Hong Kong stock accounts. Hong Kong stocks have no restrictions on employees of fund companies, just because of foreign exchange control. Even if you can open a Hong Kong stock account, the amount of investment is limited, which is inconvenient.

Employees of private equity firms can open A-share securities accounts, so as long as they meet the requirements, they can open Hong Kong Stock Connect and conduct transactions through Hong Kong Stock Connect. Whether employees who are publicly offered by fund companies can open A-share accounts depends on whether they are securities practitioners. If it is, it won't work.
