In this episode, we are joined by Nick Pollard, Managing Director of Asia-Pacific at CFA Institute, who examines the differences between two regional financial powerhouses – Singapore and Hong Kong SAR. In particular, he looks at what their respective experiences tell us about the changing career environment in the wealth-management industry as companies are increasingly looking for people with a broad skill set who demonstrate technical, relationship-building and client-facing abilities.

 

Later on in the interview, Nick weighs up the key challenges facing companies and financial professionals who want to establish themselves in China, and whether the growth of fintech there is seen as a threat or an opportunity.
