[Webinar] Enhancing Connectivity between Capital Markets in the GBA via Wealth Management Connect
概要
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced on 18 October 2021 that 19 eligible banks in Hong Kong could launch Cross-boundary Wealth Management Connect (WMC) services. The launch of GBA WMC is another new member joining the Connect Schemes Club which links up capital markets in the Mainland and Hong Kong after the launch of the Stock Connect in 2014 and the Bond Connect in 2017.
The GBA is China’s most open and affluent region, accounting for one-fifth of China’s high-net-worth families. The immense potential of the mainland economy is also attracting many international investors to increase their exposure to Mainland-related investments in RMB assets. The WMC will create a much greater customer base and propel local wealth management industry in the GBA cities, further fortifying Hong Kong’s role as an international financial centre as well as the integration of financial services in the GBA.
