The “Conversations with Global Investors” investment forum today (5 November) marked the successful conclusion of the three-day Global Financial Leaders’ Investment Summit in Hong Kong.
Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), and the Hong Kong Academy of Finance (AoF), the forum served as a platform for dialogues among 300 overseas and local leaders from the financial markets, businesses and the public sector.
Under the Summit’s theme “Trekking through Shifting Terrain”, today’s forum featured more than 20 leading global investors who shared their insights on capitalising on emerging investment opportunities across diverse markets while navigating evolving risks.
Notably, they discussed a wide range of topical issues including geo-economic fragmentation, shifting dynamics in asset management and alternative investments, the expanding potential in Asia’s investment landscape, and the transformative role of AI and digital innovation in reshaping investment practices, risk assessment and portfolio management.
Mr Eddie Yue, the Chief Executive of the HKMA and Chairman of the AoF, said, “This marks the fourth edition of the Summit - a flagship global financial event in the Asia Pacific region. As a key gathering for global financial leaders, it provides a unique platform to share insights and perspectives amid the uncertainties and challenges shaping today’s global financial markets and real economy.”
Dr Kelvin Wong, the Chairman of the SFC, said, “The Summit once again reflects Hong Kong’s unmatched position as Asia’s leading financial centre - resilient, innovative, and globally connected. Serving as Asia’s gateway, we are committed to driving growth, strengthening investor confidence, and unlocking new opportunities for the future.”
On the whole, the three-day Summit welcomed over 300 participants, including more than 100 group chairmen and chief executive officers from the world’s top financial institutions, representing banks, securities firms, asset owners, asset managers, private equity and venture capital firms, hedge funds and insurers.
