BFin (AMPB) – Alumni Sharing Session 2025 Connecting Legacy with Future Ambition

On October 16, 2025, the BFin (AMPB) programme hosted its annual Alumni Sharing Session at HKU iCube, bringing together current students with 15 distinguished graduates who are now building their careers at prestigious financial institutions including J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, UBS, Citi, HSBC, CICC and others. The evening provided an unparalleled opportunity for students to gain firsthand insights into the realities of global finance across private banking, asset management, and investment banking.

The evening commenced with a lively panel discussion, where students engaged in interactive conversations with alumni from diverse finance sectors who shared candid insights about their professional journeys. Discussions covered everything from campus to career, technical skill requirements to firm culture, giving students firsthand perspectives on navigating their future career in the finance industry.


Mentorship in Practice – Students chatting and networking with alumni

A highlight of the evening was the mentorship-driven dialogues, where students and alumni chatting and networking around the room with drinks and snacks.  Students engaged and listened as alumni shared personal stories and lessons from their professional experiences. These one-on-one and small-group interactions provided the students a unique opportunity to meet their seniors, networking with practitioners and hopefully build their own aspirations.

These connections will continue to inspire and guide our students as they embark on their own paths in the world of finance and beyond.
