We were delighted to host our annual Digital Wealth event in Hong Kong – at a time when financial institutions are re-assessing their strategies and engagement of all kinds of technology.

Around 200 CEOs, COOs, heads of technology / digital, and other senior practitioners attended – from a mix of Private Banks, Retail Banks, Insurance Companies, Independent Firms & Family Offices, Asset Management Companies, and IFAs.

Many thanks again to those people who participated in and attended the event, and also to our partners.
