opined on the
implications of technological transformation for the investment community.

year that Hong Kong
has hosted the Investment Summit. I am glad to see that the Summit was well-received by the global
financial leaders
again, and has become part of the annual visit plans of many of them. With the Summit becoming an annual
event, I am
confident that the insightful exchange of views by global financial leaders will continue to inspire us as
we sail
through the unprecedented changes in the world today.”
Ms Julia Leung, the Chief Executive Officer of the SFC, said “In global markets, the many forces of
transformation have
continued to reshape our market practices, growth strategies and also regulation. The leading investment
managers
gathered here today to identify evolving market trends to stay steps ahead, harness the power of
transformation and
