UBS takes over Credit Suisse baton with launch of Asian Investment Conference in Hong Kong this month
- The event will draw over 2,000 global institutional investors and ultra high-net-worth individuals, and officials from 300 Asia-Pacific companies in Asia-Pacific
- The event will highlight key investment debates including inflation, policy, growth and reform, the bank said
Swiss bank UBS Group will host an investment conference in Hong Kong at the end of May, continuing a tradition begun by Credit Suisse Group, in a sign of further integration of the two lenders following last year’s takeover.
The acquisition of Credit Suisse by UBS was legally completed on June 12, 2023.
The week-long Asian Investment Conference (AIC) will commence on May 27, continuing the event’s 27-year history. The AIC is widely regarded as Asia’s premier investment conference and follows HSBC’s Global Investment Summit, held in April.
The event will bring together more than 2,000 global institutional investors and ultra high-net-worth individuals, as well as top executives and entrepreneurs from 300 private and public companies in Asia-Pacific. It will include a two-day conference to be held on May 28 and 29.
“The AIC is a unique platform that serves exactly that purpose – connecting local wisdom with global capabilities to deliver actionable ideas,” said Edmund Koh, president of Asia-Pacific at UBS.
