They also had the chance to visit practitioners\u2019 office. The event was well-received, and our students have plenty of takeaways from the visits.<\/p>\n<p>Lau Yuen Ying, Year 3, AMPB student believes this opportunity can help her gain a deeper understanding of the recent trends in the private banking industry, \u201cI thought COVID-19 pandemic would negatively affect the industry, yet, it has fostered communication with the clients and increased the transaction volume tremendously. Each client&#8217;s reaction towards the pandemic situation might be different, so they have to cater to their needs in various ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lam Hei Tung, Year 1, AMPB student thinks that this is an eye-opening experience, \u201cThe most impressive sharing in the coffee chat is how we should better equip ourselves for our future. Mr John Lo, a private banker at Bank of China International Limited, gave us insights into how the industries look like, ranging from their operation, valued qualities to promotion opportunities. I learnt a lot from John and became more clear about what I should achieve during my college years.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_142419\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-142419\" class=\"wp-image-142421 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E-fusion_edited-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"e-fusion\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E-fusion_edited-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E-fusion_edited-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E-fusion_edited-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E-fusion_edited-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/E-fusion_edited.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-142419\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Second left) Mr. Frederick Wong, CFA, Founder &amp; Chief Investment Officer of eFusion<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_142422\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-142422\" class=\"wp-image-142424 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC08059_edited-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Chartwell\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC08059_edited-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC08059_edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC08059_edited-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC08059_edited-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC08059_edited-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-142422\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(First left) Mr. Evan Ng, Head of Trading and Senior Investment Analyst of Chartwell Capital<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-142428","hkubs-media","type-hkubs-media","status-publish","hentry","media-categories-school-news-tc","media-topic-categories-teaching-and-learning-tc"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hkubs-media\/142428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hkubs-media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/hkubs-media"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hkubs-media\/142428\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":142431,"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hkubs-media\/142428\/revisions\/142431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hkubs.hku.hk\/tc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
