According to Odaily, a report jointly released by the Hong Kong Investment Funds Association and KPMG titled '2030 Vision: The Future of the Hong Kong Fund Management Industry' states that Hong Kong's position as a major asset management center in Asia remains solid. However, there is still room to further strengthen cross-border wealth management plans and tax incentive policies to promote steady industry development.
The report points out that investment diversification in Hong Kong, particularly opening up more asset categories for retail investors, is increasing. Many fund management companies have successively launched products in investment areas such as private equity, private credit, infrastructure assets, and real estate to meet the growing demand.
The report also indicates that virtual assets continue to attract investor interest, with an increasingly rich selection of investment options, including virtual asset ETFs. Recent regulatory developments have helped Hong Kong enhance its competitiveness, making it the preferred location for fund management companies to invest in emerging asset categories.
