Wealth & Society 2021

Despite economic damage brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, high net worth (HNW) individuals (i.e. USD millionaires) are increasingly dominant in terms of total wealth ownership and their share of global wealth. It now numbers 56 million, or 1.1% of all adults, who own 45.8% of household wealth, $191.6 trillion. In addition to public health risks, climate change, geopolitical tensions and wealth differences are exacerbating globally in the past decades. More and more business leaders, influencers, especially new generations are realising that money is not enough to solve these challenges. They must actively take the lead to accelerate and scale the impact for a better, healthier, and more equitable future. Wealth & Society 2021 gathers international and local leaders in business, government, technology, philanthropy and academia as well as influencers to showcase and recognise the positive impact they have on society.

Taking action now to accelerate the global sustainability transition

Political, business and academia leaders are starting to think about how to rebuild the relationship between man and nature, the relationship between man and man, and the inclusive and collaborative governance mechanism.

In the leadership dialogue, we focus on the challenges bringing us together and big ideas in policy, science, finance and technology to attain long-term sustainable development.

Keeping and growing wealth within a family over generations

Successfully passing the baton to the next generation is a goal for any family business. During the succession, what are the biggest challenges for them? How to fetch a better governance for family-owned companies and how to build up an efficient mechanism for better succession? How to balance between last generation’s tradition and new generation’s innovation?

  • Challenges of inter-generational succession in a family

Enjoy the fruits of being wealthy together

"Common prosperity" is not a new idea in China. It was highlighted again as one of the nation's key long-term targets through 2035 and 2050. When some observers focus on the word “prosperity”, they worry about how the existing accumulated wealth would be redistributed involuntarily. However, if one interprets it from “common”, he/she will see it’s a process that social inequalities can be reduced and the fruits of economic development can be shared by all.

  • How to understand the wealth redistribution and “common prosperity”
  • The impact on wealth industry
  • What is the role that enterprises play?
  • Opportunities and challenges for philanthropy
Speakers include:

Shi Limin, Vice President, Zhe Jiang Provincial Charity Federation

Fu Changbo, Professor and PhD Supervisor, China Academy of Social Management / School of Sociology, Beijing Normal University

10:30 – 11:00
The opportunities and challenges for wealth industry in the upcoming era of China’s new asset management rules

In addition to the further opening up of financial markets and eased rules around insurance asset management products, the transitional period for the implementation of China’s new asset-management rules will cease at the end of this year, which all increases the complexity of wealth market. How do institutions identify the trends and get well-prepared to reform for long-term development?

Clients’ needs are changing as well with the increasing uncertainty of the global market. They focus more on institutions’ asset management and risk control ability as well as security and liquidity of assets. How can institutions build financial literacy for investors while meeting their expectations on the return?

  • Shaping a positive, measurable, and profitable investment strategy
  • Meeting customer's demands on wealth creation and preservation
  • How investors adapt to changing market
  • Opportunities brought by the launch of the Cross-boundary Wealth Management Connect
Speakers include:

Liang Dongqing, Managing Director and Deputy Head, Investment Product & Solution, China International Capital Corporation (CICC)

11:00 – 11:10

For enterprises, the implementation of ESG strategy could mitigate risks and facilitate healthy growth. For investors, it reduces portfolio risk and generate competitive investment returns.
