Developing an International Derivatives Hub in Asia

Overview

This eSeminar is a recorded session of the webinar held on 12 August 2020.

Hong Kong has a unique opportunity to extend its relevance in introducing a global product offering for international market players. While our HSI and HSCEI futures and options serve a global audience, HKEX has had limited experience in offering additional risk management tools that are relevant to global investors.

With the introduction of MSCI Asia and EM derivatives, HKEX and the financial industry in Hong Kong can:
1) Offer international products that are relevant to us and global investors.
2) Develop our market towards round-the-clock trading in derivatives.

It is important to have a set-up in Asia that can connect the 2 international finance centres in New York and London.

In this eSeminar, the speaker compared Hong Kong with our global peers when developing an International Derivatives Hub in Asia Time Zone. He also explored what the challenges and opportunities are for financial professionals with such set-up.
