Captains Conversation: Scaling Sustainable Finance 
After a quite turbulent few years, how are Asia’s leading private banks, and their clients, helping to scale the sustainable finance conversation? SI/ESG awareness has risen significantly but during the last year more pressing investment concerns have dominated client conversations.

How are we still forging a path forward as an industry, across all facets: client portfolios, within their operating businesses and within our own institutions? What new market infrastructure and product innovation lie ahead for Asia?

Scaling sustainability knowledge across clients, bankers and product suites requires specialist expertise and deep conversations within banks. Where are we finding these new sources of talent and knowledge? What now makes a ‘model banker’?

Hong Kong is home to a rich tradition of philanthropy. With a longer history and continued wealth transfer, how can Hong Kong build on its past and continue to lead by example? What innovation and infrastructure comes next on this journey?

Panellists:

  • Arnaud Tellier, CEO Asia Pacific, BNP Paribas Wealth Management
  • Fritz Chan, Managing Director & Head, BEA Private Banking
  • Peter Stein, CEO and Managing Director, Private Wealth Management Association
  • Vincent Chui, Head of Wealth Management, Asia Pacific, Chief Executive, Morgan Stanley Bank Asia Limited

Panel 2: 
Investment Products 3.0 and the ESG Multiverse
As the product universe multiplies, client expectations to have SI/ESG mindful capabilities also expands. From more granular equity themes, to fixed income investing within an SI/ESG framework, to the burgeoning private and alternative markets, how are product suites and investment opportunities maturing?

To scale sustainable investments will require a shared language and common benchmarks for regulation, data, nomenclature, and more. How are we progressing in building a collective (and quantifiable) understanding of sustainable investment? How are regulators in Asia and beyond contributing to a shared framework which is positioned to scale?

Panellists:

  • Jacky Leung, Head of Product Management Group Hong Kong, Bank of Singapore
  • Jacky Tang, Head, Portfolio Management Group, Portfolio Advisory Group and Investment Strategy Group, Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management

12:10 pm - 12:50 pm
Closing Panel: Philanthropy - Mobilising Capital for Transformational Impact in Asia

The landscape of philanthropy in Asia is currently facing a critical juncture. Calls remain for greater transparency and wider accessibility, as the hyper-wealthy individuals start piloting new models to support the coming impact-first and community organisations.

Combining profits with purpose, how are banks speaking to the deepest needs and motivations of the patriarchs and matriarchs in aligning the family around a philanthropic and impact investing agenda?

How is this focus helping unlock the NextGen family members, incorporating their views in the heart of family succession discussions? And how do we build stakeholder connectivity, and right data sets, to start scaling up the impact in Asia?

Panellists:

  • Anthony Gao, Head of Philanthropy Services, Asia, Pictet Wealth Management
  • Dorothy Chan, Head of Philanthropy Services and Advisory, Asia Pacific, HSBC Global Private Banking
  • Jean Sung, Head of The Philanthropy Centre, Asia, J.P. Morgan Private Bank
