About the event
This fireside chat, organized by CFA Society Hong Kong, explored with Dr. Mark Konyn, AIA's Group CIO, on how AIA, as a major life insurer, anchors capital in Asia amid rising geopolitical uncertainty. The conversation delved into Dr. Konyn’s views on the "Asia investment story," Hong Kong’s evolving role as a financial hub, and his approach to bridge the gap between "slow" patient capital and "fast tech". The session was moderated by Prof. Agnes K Y Tai, a global leader in climate and nature governance.
