Amy Lo, Chairman, PWMA Executive Committee: “Hong Kong has emerged as an important wealth management hub, and more individual investors are seeking access to private markets to enhance their portfolios. We are pleased to partner with an industry leader like Blackstone, who shares our commitment of fostering the growth and development of Hong Kong’s private wealth management industry, to support wealth practitioners who are helping to manage and grow assets for our valued clients.”
Ed Huang, Head of Asia Pacific for Blackstone Private Wealth Solutions: “Providing high-quality education on private markets is an important cornerstone of our private wealth platform. While there’s momentum in the adoption of private markets, individual investors remain under-allocated. We believe allocation will continue to rise as wealth management professionals and individual investors seek portfolio diversification and attractive risk-adjusted performance. We launched our core educational program, Blackstone University, in 2011, and are thrilled to partner with PWMA to support the growing interest in private markets.”
