Client confidence in Hong Kong as a wealth management hub has climbed to its highest level in three years. This was just one of the findings shared at this year’s PWMA Summit, which saw the release of the landmark 10th Hong Kong Private Wealth Management Report, jointly authored by KPMG China and the Private Wealth Management Association.   KPMG’s Jia Ning Song, CFA CPA FRM CAIA, and Vivien K. discussed key findings from the report, and highlighted the opportunities for Hong Kong to extend its position as a leading hub for international clients by 2030. These include: - Deepening collaboration with asset managers to deliver more sophisticated and tailored investment solutions (and education) that add real value to the client. - As digital assets enter the mainstream, balancing innovation with appropriate safeguards will be critical to shaping Hong Kong as a forward looking and responsive wealth management centre. - Equipping RMs with the skills, tools and insights to meet the evolving expectations of next generation clients, whose needs are truly different.
