Opportunities and Challenges in China's Asset Management Sector to Be Discussed at Fifth Wee Cho Yaw Singapore-China Finance and Banking Forum
(firmenpresse) - SHANGHAI, CHINA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/24/13 -- The latest developments in China's asset management sector and the implications for asset managers and investors in Asia, particularly China and Singapore, are set to be discussed at the upcoming fifth Wee Cho Yaw Singapore-China Finance and Banking Forum.
To be held in Shanghai on 31 July 2013 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Pudong, the Forum is organised by the (NUS) Business School's Centre for Asset Management Research and Investments (CAMRI) with the aim of fostering a deeper understanding among industry professionals and scholars of the challenges and opportunities in the finance sectors of China and Singapore.
The Forum, themed 'China's Asset Management Industry: The Opportunities and Challenges,' will be moderated by Professor Joseph Cherian, Director of CAMRI at NUS Business School. The event will feature expert panellists including Professor Anthony Neoh, Dean's Visiting Professor at NUS Business School and former Chief Adviser, China Securities Regulatory Commission; Dr Qian Jun, Chief Executive Officer, Hwabao Trust; Ms Jasmine Lim, Deputy General Manager, Ping An UOB Fund Management Company; Mr Peter Alexander, Managing Director, Z-Ben Advisors; and Mr Huang Jingsheng, Partner, TPG Growth and RMB Funds.
Key topics that will be discussed at the Forum include the liberalisation and exponential growth of assets under management in China; future trends and the fiduciary obligations; China's Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) and Renminbi Foreign Institutional Investor (RFII) programmes; and the alignment and rationalisation of trust, insurance and other companies offering asset management products.
Professor Cherian explained: "Following the phenomenal growth in fiduciary and private assets under management in China, and the recent announcement by the People's Bank of China (PBOC) naming Singapore as the first regional financial centre outside China to have a yuan-clearing bank, many new opportunities have arisen for both countries' banks and asset managers. China's regulatory environment and policies are also rapidly modernising to keep pace with the country's development. This Forum provides an important platform for understanding the latest trends in asset management in the two countries in particular, and Asia in general."
The Wee Cho Yaw Singapore-China Finance and Banking Forum was established in 2008 with a S$3 million donation from the then-Chairman of United Overseas Bank (UOB), Dr Wee Cho Yaw, and his family. The inaugural Forum was held in Beijing in August 2010 in conjunction with the 20th anniversary celebration of diplomatic relations between Singapore and China.
Since then, the venue of the annual event has alternated between the two countries. The Wee Cho Yaw Singapore-China Finance and Banking Forum was last held in Singapore in 2012 with the theme of 'The Internationalisation of the Renminbi.'
This year, the half day Forum features a panel discussion session and question-and-answer session. Industry professionals are welcome to attend. More information about the Forum can be found at
