The "Conversations with Global Investors" seminar brought the Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit in Hong Kong to a successful close today (November 8).
About 300 overseas and local leaders from the financial, business, and public sectors attended the seminar, which was jointly organised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the Hong Kong Academy of Finance (AoF).
Under the Summit's theme "Living with Complexity", today's seminar featured 20 global leading investors, who shared their investment insights and latest approaches to navigate a challenging landscape.
The Chief Executive of the HKMA and Chairman of the AoF, Mr Eddie Yue, said "This is the second year that Hong Kong has hosted the Investment Summit, and coincides with the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the HKMA. I am heartened to see the enthusiastic response to the Summit. The active participation in the Summit, and the very packed schedule of many of our guests while they are here, reflect the vibrancy and significance of Hong Kong as an international financial centre."
The Chief Executive Officer of the SFC, Ms Julia Leung, said "The seminar, as well as the Summit as a whole, is a testament to the strong appeal of Hong Kong to global investors as a financial market of choice both regionally and worldwide. I am confident that participants at the event have all walked away with better insights into both global and Asian investment opportunities that will prove valuable to their firms and clients amid prevailing macro risks."
Overall, the three-day Summit welcomed over 350 participants, including more than 90 group chairmen or CEOs 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.
