Hong Kong Investment Management 2020:
A Dynamic and Competitive World





NOW AVAILABLE ON-DEMAND

A webinar focusing on the future of asset management and sustainable-driven investments. Hear what our Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards 2020 Hong Kong Group Awards winners have to say. 

The fund management industry has continued to grow over the last 10 years, but shocks to the system, including the impact of COVID-19 are bringing challenges. As we slip into an era of low interest rates where risk-free assets are expected to deliver lower returns, the cost of investing is more important than ever. So where are the opportunities? 

Due to lower expenses, passive management is seeing strong traction and is accessible to all types of investors. Sustainability is increasingly becoming a strategic and mainstream investment process for the community. Technology is being leveraged to transform the investor experience, with AI and machine learning elevating investment decision making.  

Join us on this webinar to discuss key issues including:

  • The impact of COVID-19 on the fund management industry in Hong Kong
  • Using Funds as a tool for Retirement and Pension planning
  • ETFs, passive investments and MPF fund trends in Hong Kong
  • International Funds: An opportunity for diversification?
  • The challenges of integrating ESG factors into the mainstream investment decision making process
  • Are Sustainability Ratings of investment funds the right indicators for adherence to stated ESG objectives?
  • Role of Data & Technology in Investment Management
