SUMMARY:Asian Wealth Management Summit 2015
DESCRIPTION:Seven years after the global financial crisis of 2008\, the business of wealth management has fundamentally changed. Across the world\, regulations are becoming more stringent – posing new challenges around minimum capital and liquidity requirements\, proprietary trading restrictions and rules relating to offshore assets and income. In addition\, changing preferences and increasingly high expectations from clients mean wealth management is more competitive than ever. In South East Asia\, firms hopeful for the inauguration of the ASEAN Economic Community remain poised to see whether more member states are to open up their financial services sectors in 2015. \nWhat does banking liberalisation in countries like the Philippines mean for international players looking to access increasingly affluent customers across the region? How can wealth management firms bring their expertise to prosperous yet unbanked entrepreneurs and businessmen from emerging markets in Asia? In what ways are online platforms and innovative technologies shaking up the wealth management industry? And is there a distinct cultural difference in managing Asian clients? \nThe Asian Wealth Management Summit will gather C-suite and director- level executives from the region’s leading private banks\, family offices\, investment banks and asset managers – as well as specialist advisers and consultants – to shed light on where the most lucrative opportunities lie\, and what firms must do to capture these opportunities and grow their book of business. \nBuilding on the success of the two previous Summits\, this year’s edition\, organised by the Financial Times\, in collaboration with Labuan International Business and Financial Centre (Labuan IBFC)\, will incorporate the fifth Banker – PWM Global Private Banking Awards 2015. Global award winners will be announced at a gala dinner following the Summit. \nTo learn more about the event\, kindly visit the website: Asian Wealth Management Summit \nTo enjoy a discount as a EuroCham member\, use “EuroCham2015″ VIP code and kindly register HERE

The impact of the ASEAN Economic Community on trade\, business and investment is expected to reinforce the region’s potential as an economic and commercial powerhouse.\nHowever\, much still needs to be done for full economic integration to become a reality and to be optimised — amid persistent concerns over protectionist pressures\, the needs of economies at different levels of development\, and the region’s historically low productivity rates.\n\nMeanwhile\, businesses are focusing on disruptive technologies\, skills training and the other key elements that will form the core of a successful region-wide growth strategy.\n\nLeading minds from government\, business and finance will gather in Kuala Lumpur to explore these issues in detail at the second Financial Times ASEAN Economic Summit.\n\nPanel discussions: \n\nAre governments and business sufficiently aligned to make the ASEAN Economic Community succeed? Can rising protectionism be overcome?\nWill the increasing investment from Japan\, China\, Korea and India be more transformative for ASEAN than economic integration?\nCEO Dialogue: The Multinationals’ View\nDoes ASEAN have the education systems and technological depth to be able to produce and sustain innovation?\nAre ASEAN companies ready to become global challengers?\n\n\nFor more information and to register\, please visit the website here.
