PWMA Virtual Wealth Management Summit 2021 | Plus Concepts | 5 October 2021 | Virtual Summit

"Powering a Sustainable Future: Ready, Set, Grow!"
A confluence of factors has led to profound changes in the private wealth management industry. Notably, Covid 19 has permanently changed clients' expectations and altered how wealth managers deliver services and advice to their clients.

New technology has demonstrated that it can be a disruptor, but also an enabler in offering highly customized banking and wealth management solutions. The accelerated digital transformation efforts of the past few years allowed the industry to improve resilience and effectiveness in the new operating environment amid the rising complexity of the service offering and regulatory pressure. On the other hand, the pandemic also underscored the value of human advice, particularly during periods of high market volatility.

The industry is now set to capitalize on new growth opportunities. First and foremost, the continuing liberalization of China's financial services sector allows Hong Kong to develop further as an international wealth management hub, and the Greater Bay Area represents unprecedented AUM gathering opportunities. The emergence of family offices and ESG also present firms that have the right operating and revenue model new opportunities to shine, while the rise of virtual assets highlights the need for industry to adapt and respond to a rapidly changing investment environment.

This event will attract over 800 industry professionals to attend, making it the important private banking event of the year in Hong Kong. It will feature a 3-day programme that focuses on the future blueprint of the Private Wealth Management industry. Through thought-provoking discussions and presentations, the speakers will discuss how firms can arrive at the right strategy to develop their business, reshape their existing operating models and build toward a sustainable future.
