Thursday - 1st June 2017
The Westin Singapore
12 Marina View, Asia Square Tower 2, Singapore, 018961, Singapore
Overview
WealthBriefingAsia is delighted to announce the launch of its second annual research report on the growing External Asset Manager segment in Asia, along with our partner, UBS.
You are cordially invited to attend our event in Singapore on 1 June where industry experts – including senior manages from UBS – will share the findings of this insightful research. They will also answer your questions concerning the future and structure of the Asian wealth management market.
As last year’s report, A Tale of Two Cities (for Now), set out, EAMs represent a particularly exciting part of the Asian wealth management industry – and there has already been significant growth since 2016. But with increased regulation, alongside heightened competition for both clients and bankers, EAMs face significant challenges ahead.
Save the date and register now for what is a must-attend thought-leadership event for anyone interested in the future development of the independent advisory segment in Asia.
The event will be held in Singapore at the Westin Hotel, Asia Square,
We very much look forward to seeing you there to discuss the future of Asia’s EAMs and the findings of this ground-breaking research.
