Why this conference:
In an industry built largely on trust and
reputation, the last 12-18 months have been a challenging year for
wealth managers as clients see their assets shrivel to a shadow of
their former size after profiting from the boom of 2007-2008.
Some have weathered the storm better than
most, continuing to invest in their business and strategy in one of
the most difficult years in financial history. These institutions
have managed to avoid direct intervention in their businesses
by domestic regulators, which has enhanced their reputation and
standing among investors.
Who will be left standing after the storm? Who
has enjoyed the flight to quality when rivals are wilting? What has
been the key to managing reputation when many banks have been
tarnished through sub-prime and product-based scandal? Will niche
outfits still profit from the aftermath or do they need to scale up
to be more effective and risk being marginalised otherwise?
The Private Banker International Hong Kong
Forum will give wealth managers an independent platform to discuss
these key industry issues and challenges facing the industry
particularly in Hong Kong and North Asia.
Leveraging our flagship wealth management
event – the Private Banker International Wealth Management Summit –
this one day briefing will continue VRL’s tradition of a strong,
content-driven agenda and will highlight current international case
studies to promote peer-level discussion on the issues that matter
most.
A powerful new conversation has begun and it
is changing the way wealth managers will do business in the near
future. Engage with your peers, discover practical insights and
drive real change to tap into one of the fastest-growing HNW
markets in the world.
