Following the takeover of Credit Suisse, UBS will look to extend the fallen Swiss bank’s conference legacy in Asia.
UBS will host the 27th Asian Investment Conference (AIC) in Hong Kong later this month, according to a statement. The week-long event will commence on May 27.
«At UBS, excellence comes from nurturing the best of our heritage, combining global expertise with local knowledge to deliver much needed expertise in helping our clients to turn their financial vision into a reality,» said UBS APAC president Edmund Koh. «The AIC is a unique platform that serves exactly that purpose – connecting local wisdom with global capabilities to deliver actionable ideas.»
Credit Suisse’s Legacy
UBS will extend AIC's 27-year legacy after its original host, Credit Suisse, held its last rendition in March 2023. The fallen Swiss bank’s event last year featured key Hong Kong icons such as a stall resembling renowned local ice cream vendor Mister Softee.
«The AIC has earned a reputation for providing cutting-edge insight into what is next for investors in the region, as well as an outstanding networking opportunity,» Koh added. «UBS will leverage the AIC platform to craft a new future for this edgy platform.»
Event Agenda
This year’s AIC is expected to attract 2,000 global institutional investors and ultra-high net worth individuals alongside top executives and entrepreneurs from 300 companies in APAC.
The event will cover key themes including inflation, policy, growth and reform as well as generative AI, new energy and neuroscience. It will also feature exclusive tracks with bespoke content and research tours.
