The “Conversations with Global Investors” forum held in Hong Kong today (4 November) brought the three-day Global Financial Leaders’ Investment Summit 2026 to a successful conclusion following a lively exchange of views on key issues shaping the future of global financial markets.
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 brought together more than 300 overseas and local leaders from the financial markets, the commercial and public sectors.
Mr Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the HKMA and Chairman of the AoF, said, “This fifth edition of the Summit has evolved into a leading platform for global financial dialogues amid complex economic challenges and shifting investment landscapes. By bringing together the world’s financial leaders, the event underscores Hong Kong’s role as a premier international financial centre.”
Dr Kelvin Wong, Chairman of the SFC, said, “Hong Kong stands unmatched as Asia’s resilient financial gateway—innovative, connected and globally trusted. Amid a shifting terrain, we are committed to maintaining market quality and resilience, upholding robust governance, and unlocking new opportunities for investors worldwide. Together, we will transform challenges into the next chapter of shared prosperity.”
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. With “Rethinking the Playbook” as the overarching theme of the Summit, more than 20 leading global investors shared their insights during today’s discussions on a broad spectrum of pivotal issues. They included, among others, the changing landscape of asset and wealth management and alternative investments, Asia’s expanding investment horizons, and the role of Artificial Intelligence in revolutionising portfolio management and risk assessment.
