The Global Financial Leaders’ Investment Summit wrapped up with the “Conversations with Global Investors” forum, marking the end of the three-day event. Organized by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), and the Hong Kong Academy of Finance (AoF), the Summit attracted 280 international and local leaders from finance, business, and the public sector.
Themed “Sailing through Changes”, the forum brought together over 20 global investors who shared insights into managing risks, exploring opportunities, and adapting to technological transformations in investment markets. Topics included long-term asset allocation, opportunities in alternative assets, private equity trends in Asia, and the impact of technology on investment strategies.
Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the HKMA, commented, “This is the third year that Hong Kong has hosted the Investment Summit. I am glad to see that the Summit was well-received by the global financial leaders again, and has become part of the annual visit plans of many of them. With the Summit becoming an annual event, I am confident that the insightful exchange of views by global financial leaders will continue to inspire us as we sail through the unprecedented changes in the world today.”
Julia Leung, Chief Executive Officer of the SFC, highlighted the significance of transformation in global markets, stating, “The leading investment managers gathered here today to identify evolving market trends to stay steps ahead, harness the power of transformation and drive positive change in an era of predictable unpredictability.”
The Summit welcomed over 350 participants, including more than 100 chairpersons and CEOs from top global financial institutions. Attendees represented a broad spectrum of sectors, including banks, securities firms, asset management, private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, and insurers.
The event has solidified its place as a pivotal annual gathering for industry leaders, fostering meaningful exchanges that shape the future of global finance.
