About the seminar:

The global economy underwent substantial changes, and the rise of FinTech has brought in new financial institutions providing financial services to a large number of customers and investors, as well as changing the ways banks and corporations interact with their clients and each other.

Technology is shaping the asset management industry, and has the potential to transform processes, operations and systems, creating something different for future generations to enjoy. As asset management enters the 21st century, technology will become mission critical to drive customer engagement, data mining for information on clients and potential clients, operational efficiency and regulatory and tax reporting. 

In this session, our distinguished speakers will share their views and many years of experience in asset management, to discuss the industry’s current landscape and what drives transformations; and how young graduates should prepare themselves for a career in the financial services sector to cope with the new economy.

Dr. AU King-lun

The Faculty Mentorship Programme is a 12-month programme running from January to December each year.  The Programme aims to provide students with opportunities to enhance their skills and knowledge essential for future career development through direct and active one-on-one interaction with seasoned professionals, executives and entrepreneurs. 

Through this platform, our students are empowered to:
·               learn from the achievements and experience of seasoned professionals (i.e. mentors),
·               understand the expectation of their potential employers and develop essential skills employers look for,
·               extend their business and personal network,
·               establish and clarify their career and personal goals through the advice of their mentors,
·               connect to the real business world.

Once mentors and mentees are paired up, they are free to organise their own meetings.  The Faculty will also take the lead to organise some networking and bonding activities to help strengthen their relations and facilitate their communications.  Mentors and mentees are free to keep contact after their participating year based on their own wish and mutual understandings.  The Faculty does not have rules governing the minimum number of hour mentors and mentees should meet but we encourage students to take the initiative to arrange regular meetings and/or keep regular contact with their mentors in their participating year.
