The Global Investment Summit is a global conversation taking place right here in Hong Kong.

We are bringing together clients to share insights and ideas to understand what’s happening now, and inform what decisions they make next.

[Michael]

We’ve attracted 5,000 clients from around the world.

80% are C-suite type of individuals.

Markets don’t move without politics.

Technology doesn’t scale without capital.

All these things come together; they intersect at GIS.

[David]

Hong Kong is really the capital of international connectivity.

So, it’s a very natural place for HSBC to host a GIS here, connecting the international investors, regional corporates, as well as great thought leaders and speakers to share the best ideas.

HSBC has convened an incredibly knowledgeable group of investors who understand the global economy very well.

This is such a difficult time with so much uncertainty, sharing insights is very valuable.

[Rachel]

Talking to people today, I think the main benefit is exactly that.

Rachel Lord, Head of International, BlackRock

We’ve been meeting people in the corridors as we walk between the different audiences.

It’s the conversations that happen around the edges as well as the content.

Kate Ferry, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director, Burberry Group

So alongside sharing perspectives with others in the luxury industry and indeed from the broad array of sectors.

Of course, it’s also a really efficient way of connecting companies with capital.

I’ve had a number of really excellent investor meetings with investors from the region and with investors globally.

The HSBC Global Investment Summit is where real decisions get shaped.

We think about the bringing together of those that set agendas, allocate capital and build businesses all in one place.

It creates a really unique opportunity for our wealth clients and for our partners.
