Direct Dialogue with Investment Consulting and Family Office Expertise

A new course, FINA 3336 – Investment Consulting, Institutional Business and Family Office, was added to the AMPB curriculum in the second semester of 2021-22. The course was led by two experienced industry practitioners, Ms. Janet Li and Mr. Edmond Lau, and aims to provide conceptual and practical approach to the understanding of the institutional investment consulting and family office business. It offers students learning opportunities with practitioners who can share real business challenges and insights of the latest industry developments as well as innovations.  To enrich students’ perspective, four guest speakers were invited for interactive lecture sessions with them.
