Asset and Wealth Management Conference 2024

Investing in tomorrow: Shaping the future of asset and wealth management

Wednesday, 9 October 2024, 2 - 6pm

The asset management industry is entering a new era, characterised by a dynamic macro environment, uncertain geopolitical developments, and shifting investment strategies. Asset managers must adapt to this "new state of play" by embracing an adaptive mindset and disciplined execution. The opportunities for asset managers in Asia are significant, driven by fast-growing regional economies, sizeable investable assets, and a significant generational wealth transfer expected by 2030. By harnessing new and emerging technologies such as quantum computing and Gen AI, alongside top talent, asset managers can navigate this new landscape and thrive.

Join us as we bring together asset and wealth managers, alternative and private markets asset managers, institutional investors, family offices, market leaders, and professionals to discuss and share insights on key industry trends and drivers shaping the future of the industry.
