Hong Kong’s upcoming high-profile financial summit will feature a handful of additional asset management firms after local authorities extended the event by one day.
Earlier this month, Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary Paul Chan said in a blog post that the upcoming «Global Financial Leaders’ Investment Summit» was extended to three days after participants indicated that an event with a closed-door meeting on November 1 followed by just a half-day public forum the next day was too short.
And in the latest, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) unveiled that the panel on the third day on «investing through uncertain times» will feature leaders of top asset managers including Carlyle co-founder and co-chair William Conway Jr, Man Group chief executive Luke Ellis, Apollo Asset Management co-president Jim Zelter, BNY Mellon Investment Management CEO Hanneke Smits as well as State Street Global Advisors president and CEO Cyrus Taraporevala.
Nine Asset Managers
Including the asset managers on the third day, the event will feature panelists from nine global investment management firms in total, including Blackstone, KKR, Amundi and Blackrock.
«These nine global investment management firms have deep knowledge and history with many markets, a wide range of asset classes, and sizeable armies of financial professionals,» the HKMA said.
Hong Kong’s much anticipated summit will run from November 1 to 3 with expectations to attract 200 financial executives.
