Fund distribution: at the cusp of change
HKIFA 11th Annual Conference
You are cordially invited to enroll into the 11th HKIFA Annual Conference, which will be held at JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong on November 20, 2017 (Monday).
“Fund distribution: at the cusp of change” is the theme of this year’s conference. We are honored to have Mr. Arthur Yuen, JP, Deputy Chief Executive of HKMA, to be our keynote speaker. The speech, entitled “Fostering Hong Kong as a premier wealth management hub – the roles of banking and investment fund industries", will revolve around how sound corporate culture and new regulatory initiatives could help enhance related business conduct and improve clients' experiences.
As there are many recent developments and evolving trends in the market with respect to distribution - from regulatory to technology, from local to regional, as well as alternative platforms and evolving business models, it is both pertinent and interesting to deep dive into the topics.
Some of the subjects that will be covered:
- From the lens of distributors
- Online distribution and advisory platforms: market experience, key impediments and other alternative platforms
- Perspectives of institutional investors and the key challenges in the investment landscape
- Cross over between retail and MPF funds
- Latest development regarding the mainland fund market – WFOE, and other trends
- Outlook of the mainland and the HK distribution landscapes
The event aims to provide a platform for market participants, regulators, distributors and stakeholders to network and discuss issues pertinent to the industry developments and see how we can work together to foster HK’s position as a premier fund hub.
We sincerely look forward to your participation in this event.
Graham Turl
Chairman
