We have also incorporated into the summaries below the briefing notes which speakers sent to us in advance of the event. Plus, we have included the results of audience polling as well as questions we received from delegates. Click on each headline to view the PDFs.
Private Wealth Management – A Time of Dramatic Change
The first panel of the Hubbis Asian Wealth Management Forum in Hong Kong produced insightful deliberation on the current and future challenges and future roles for the private banks and other leading wealth management providers. Over the past decade, it appears that some progress has been made, but far more must be achieved, particularly in the key areas of transitioning to a more recurring and less ad hoc revenue stream, focusing more intently on putting the client first, and creating and adroitly pricing the value proposition.

Delivering Investment Products and Advice to Clients – Time to Re-Calibrate?
What needs do wealth management firms meet for the clients when developing products? How do the clients fit into different categories, for example discretionary, advisory and transaction-driven? How much overlap should there be between these disciplines? How does digital fit in, for example, will robo-advisory result in evolution, or revolution? Are compensation structures suited to ensuring the product and idea flows are client-centric, not sales-centric? A panel of experts deliberated these and other matters in the second discussion of the Asian Wealth Management Forum.

Wealth Management Leaders Survey Opportunities in the Global Markets
An eminent group of product gatekeepers gathered at the third panel discussion of the day at the Hubbis Asian Wealth Management Forum. Their mission was to consider how, after a year of considerable angst and volatility, wealth managers should position their clients to make money, but with resilient portfolios. They cast their discerning eyes over the mainstream global and Asian financial markets, they considered passive and active strategies, as well as reviewing opportunities in alternative assets ranging from private equity to gold and property. And they debated the rise of ESG and SRI principles, which are rapidly permeating more and more investment decisions.

Investment Ideas and Solutions – Leaders Discuss Markets and Strategies
The discussion began with a focus on risk management, with an expert remarking that he has been spreading the word on risk management developments that have been taking place in recent decades and how the Asian market is adopting the latest techniques. He noted that the past two years in Asia had provided a textbook case for risk management, with 2017 beginning as if it would be risky, but risk turned out at historical lows, while 2018 began with an early flourish and then went straight down for the rest of the year.

Why Malta’s Fast Growth, Diversifying and Welcoming Economy Resonates in Asia
Who would like to visit Malta? Who would want to be resident there, or have Maltese citizenship? Most people would be the answer to the first question, for those who are aware of its charms and beauty as a holiday. And many high-net-worth families and entrepreneurs is the answer to the second question. Malta is a small economy in the Mediterranean, but it has been growing at rates comparable to those of China and Vietnam over the past years, is in the European Union and in the British Commonwealth, and has an increasingly diverse economic base, as well as a wonderful lifestyle. Federico Vasoli, lawyer, director of dMTV Europe, with offices in Malta, Vietnam, Dubai and Singapore, and Member of FinanceMalta, gave a presentation to the Hubbis Asian Wealth Management Forum in Hong Kong to highlight its many appeals for Asia’s wealthy individuals and families, as well as the wealth management community at large.

Why disclosing climate risk is already an improvement
Entela Benz-Saliasi, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Climate risk is now recognised as a significant risk to businesses and society as a whole, pressuring companies to report on how climate change affects their operations and financial performance. These more transparent disclosures benefit an investment community that is increasingly seeking transit to a low-carbon economy and expecting companies to report on climate-related risks with as much as rigorous methodologies and clarity as any other financial risk.
