Conference Background
The Chinese government released a policy to allow commercial banks, fund management companies, and securities companies to provide offshore wealth management services to local clients in 2006. At this moment, offshore traditional products, including mutual funds, FOFs, and fixed income securities products can only be invested. Alternative Investment and Hedge Fund Products are expected to be in the offshore product list in the coming future to achieve out-performed return and risk diversification.
More and more private investment fund managers (the China version of ¡°hedge funds¡±) are stepping into the market to launch securities funds for local investors. They are now pairing with local trust companies to launch regulated onshore RMB funds investing in local equities market. The number of managers are now reaching more than 60 despite the size of asset managed are still very minor compared to local mutual fund industry. In order to take investment opportunities in offshore market, more and more private investment managers are now shifting their resources to invest in China equities listed in non-China exchanges.
Hedge funds are very active in investing in China recently driven by economic growth, openness of financial market and RMB appreciation. But is it so secret that investors can know nothing about the investment pattern and strategies of hedge fund managers. Most importantly, the image of hedge funds may not be so welcomed from the perspective of regulatory bodies. These may be the answer from the experts coming from global hedge fund industry and the conference can provide a true picture of the hedge funds.
This is the new event to introduce investment opportunities of Alternative Investment/Hedge Fund, offshore hedge fund set up, legal perspective of offshore hedge fund operation, regulatory issue on hedge fund registration, introduction of hedge fund strategies, and updated issue on alterative investment and hedge fund. Targeted delegates will include China¡¯s private investment managers, China onshore hedge fund managers, mutual fund managers, institutional investors, local IFAs, government and regulatory officials, private bankers and HNWIs.
