    Panel Discussion - "Young Clients" - Investing with Purpose?

    We use the word "Millennial" regularly. Most “young” people consider the word an insult, denoting someone who is lazy, spoiled, feckless, etc.  Regardless of what their attitude is and how effective they may be - many are coming into serious wealth, thanks to rich and doting parents. Winning the hearts and minds of "Young investors" – will be key to your long-term success. But are you too old to deal with them – and has your bank got any ideas around finding tangible, innovative ideas to get them engaged? Intergenerational wealth preservation is not easy – it requires holistic planning, targeted education and an acute focus on the customer experience.

    • How do you deal with the younger generation?
    • What is their attitude towards investing?
    • What do the younger generations expect from you?
    • What are banks doing to create a holistic and meaningful user experience for them?
    • Beyond investments, what other engagement do you need to provide?
    • Has client demand for Impact investing, SRI, ESG increased?
    • Do you provide these solutions in-house?
    • Is impact investing an add-on or a core investment?
    • Which areas would you invest in or avoid?
    • What’s the next phase of impact investing?
    • Assessing products: the good, the bad and the ugly
    • Does ESG deliver superior returns?
    • Can these offerings be bespoke to deepen relationships with clients?

    Workshop - Investing during trade war: uncorrelated equities and truly risk-free cash

    David Lai

    Partner & Co-CIO

    Premia Partners

    Aleksey Mironenko

    Partner & Chief Distribution Officer

    Premia Partners

    Throughout 2019 we’ve been whipsawed by trade war back and forth between China and the US. While many investors are inclined to de-risk and wait it out, the last month has shown that remaining uninvested has its costs too. Instead, a more appropriate strategy may be to a) identify the equity winners regardless of trade war outcome, b) minimize correlations and c) identify truly risk-free assets as a hedge for the doomsday scenario.

    • An introduction to Premia Partners and our goal to improve Asian beta
    • Why trade war winners are closer than we think – China New Econ and Vietnam are the places to be
    • Why not all cash solutions are the same – Treasury Floating Rate Notes as a risk-free cash alternative
  • 2.30pm

    Workshop - Index and Quant Investing in Asian Markets (Or why should I care about factors, smart beta and dynamic risk management)

    Harold Kim

    Founder and Chief Executive Officer

    Neo Risk Investment Advisors

    Factor / smart beta investing and dynamic risk management are widely used investment approaches in developed markets, but their adoption in Asia has been slow.  We discuss why Asian investors would be wise to understand some of these investment strategies and techniques.

    You should attend this workshop if you want to participate in a practical, hands on discussion about passive investment, smart beta, and better risk management and diversification to improve investment performance while reducing risk in Asian equity markets.

    Harold Kim, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Neo Risk Investment Advisors, will be discussing reasons for the popularity of these strategies in global markets and sharing some of his thoughts on the recent performance of Asian markets and ways active risk management and factor exposure can improve performance.

  • 3.10pm

    Panel Discussion - Shifting the Dial – how do investors (Family Offices, UNNW, Private Clients) recalibrate their portfolio for the year ahead?

    • What are the main investment themes and the products that will be most relevant in 2H?
    • How will you help clients shift mindset, investing style and portfolio holdings as the market transitions to a more volatile phase?
    • Risks and opportunities for 2H 2018? How are you delivering performance? Managing risk?
    • What Asian Markets offer the best value? What’s your view on China?
    • What is your current thinking about the role of fixed income and credit in HNW / UHNW clients’ portfolios?
    • What are the prospects for US dollar interest rates in the coming 12 months?
    • Equity – where is best? Where is worst?
    • What must be considered when investing in emerging markets?
    • What’s the role of structured products in 2H 2019?
    • Any role for passive and index products?
    • What’s the role for private debt and alternatives within portfolios?

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.

Opportunities and Challenges for Asia’s Wealth Management Community
A panel of experts at the Hubbis Investment Solutions Forum reviewed the state of the wealth management industry to highlight what value proposition might be required to survive and prosper in the future. They debated whether the cost and revenue pressures are of such a scale as to threaten the survival of some of the key players. They discussed whether the growth of private wealth in Asia will propel the market, or if only the biggest and best can survive. They wondered if, at the other extreme, the smaller adaptable, nimble newer competitors can forge a market presence and prosper.

Positioning the Wealth Management Machinery and Investment Engines for the Future
A wide-ranging discussion took place during the second panel of the Hubbis Investment Solutions Forum, with an eclectic group of experts offering different opinions on the future of wealth management in terms of its future products, services, business model and profitability, including assessing the impact of the ongoing battle between active and passive strategies, and the role of digital in promoting potentially improved investment opportunities, strategies and enhanced user interface.

Younger Generations of HNWI Clients – Investment Trends and Outlook
What does Millennial mean when it comes to wealth and wealth management, for those who are inheriting Asia’s vast private wealth and those who are now making the region’s future wealth? Whichever route they arrive at their huge wealth, the private banking and wealth management community are concentrating increasing efforts at keeping them within their folds as clients or bringing them to their firms as new customers. How is the wealth products, services and advisory industry adapting their strategies, and their teams, to cope? A panel of experts assembled for a fascinating panel discussion at the September Investment Solutions Forum.

Shifting the Dial – How Should Asia’s HNWIs Recalibrate Their Portfolios
A panel of experts assembled at the last group discussion of the Hubbis Investment Solutions Forum to ponder the optimal portfolio strategies for late 2019 and in anticipation of 2020. There was plenty of healthy disagreement on all the key investment markets, and only one clear consensus, namely that the world remains an uncertain place, and returns will remain elusive.

ESG Investing Surging Globally, but Investors Beware of Greenwashing
Delegates at the Hubbis Investment Solutions Forum in September were treated to a tale of both great growth potential and also of caution from Andrew Daniels, Senior Analyst, Manager Research at global investment research and management group Morningstar. He told the audience of the growth in sustainable investment activity globally, but also addressed the concerns of ‘Greenwashing’, the practice of making ordinary funds appear greener than they are in order to win a larger slice of the growing wall of money pouring into ESG alignment.

The GCC – Opportunities in the Newly Emerging Market Status Countries
The Gulf Cooperation Council Countries (GCC) are being upgraded to the status of Emerging Markets by major indices, creating a new region for investors in the EM arena to focus their attention. GCC countries are different from the other countries in the EM universe to date, as they are oil-exporting, their currencies are pegged to the dollar, they enjoy high foreign currency reserves and very low debt-to-GDP. Momentum investing in GCC stock markets has proven to be quite lucrative for traditional Emerging Market investors of late. Dr Ryan Lemand, Senior Executive Officer for ADS Investment Solutions & Global Head of Wealth and Asset Management for ADS Securities addressed delegates at the Investment Solutions Forum to highlight the opportunity.

State of the Emerging Markets: Unearthing the Hidden Gems in Asia
Aleksey Mironenko is a keen proponent of the value HNWI investors can find in China ‘A’ shares and in the key parts of Asian stock markets. In his capacity as Partner & Chief Distribution Officer for Hong Kong-based investment manager Premia, he gave a presentation at the Hubbis Investment Solutions Forum to highlight opportunities in China new economy shares, in innovative Asian companies and in the firm’s recently launched Vietnam ETF. He believes that in a world of inflated valuations and liquidity seeking new homes, ASEAN and China markets are at an exciting phase of development and offer a highly diversified range of opportunities. And to access these, HNWIs can buy into Premia’s growing stock of China and ASEAN ETF strategies.

Investing During the US-China Trade Conflict: Uncorrelated Equities and Truly Risk-Free Cash
Throughout 2019 the world has suffered from the US-China trade conflict fallout, and while many investors have been inclined to de-risk and wait it out, there are opportunities lost as well by pursuing that strategy. Instead, Hong Kong investment manager Premia Partners believes a more appropriate strategy is to identify the equity winners regardless, minimise correlations, and buy into truly risk-free assets as a hedge for any doomsday scenario. David Lai, Premia Partner & Co-Chief Investment Officer, and Aleksey Mironenko, Partner & Chief Distribution Officer, paired up for a fascinating Workshop at the Hubbis Investment Solutions Forum.  

‘Do-It-Yourself Wealth Management’: Efficient and Low-Cost Access to Professionally Managed Global Diversified Portfolios
At a recent Hubbis Investment Solutions Forum, Dr Harold Kim, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Neo Risk Investment Advisors, highlighted how the widespread availability of ETFs combined with managed account technology allows individual investors to have global, diversified, low-cost portfolios managed professionally in their own accounts with full transparency. He called it ‘Do-It-Yourself Wealth Management’.

Index and Quant Investing in Asian Markets for Asia’s Wealth Management Community
Harold Kim, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Neo Risk Investment Advisors, offered a fascinating Workshop at the Investment Solutions Forum to explain how factor/smart beta investing and dynamic risk management works. These investment approaches are widely used in developed markets, but their adoption in Asia has been lagging. Using passive investments, smart beta and dynamic risk management can significantly improve investment performance while reducing risk in Asian equity markets.

The China Potential & Using ETFs and Tactical Trading Strategies to Boost Returns
Louis Lu, Head of Quantitative and Alternative Investment Department at CSOP Asset Management, sees huge opportunities for China. He addressed the Hubbis Investment Solutions Forum to explain the why and how of participating in that market, including offering some interesting trading strategies to boost returns, while reducing unwanted volatility.

EM Fixed income and China ‘A’ Shares – Yield and Return in a Low-Return World
Donald Amstad, Chief Operating Officer, APAC Distribution & Head of Investment Specialists for Asia Pacific at Aberdeen Standard Investments sees real value in Emerging Market Debt as an asset class. He gave a lively presentation at the Investment Solutions forum to highlight these fixed-income opportunities, and to advise HNWI clients and the assembled advisers where and how they can buy such instruments. And he also pointed the spotlight to the great China ‘A’ share revaluation bonanza that, he believes, has begun in earnest in 2019.
