Inclusivity and Sustainability, Key Themes for Malaysia as Chair of ASEAN

About this event

Malaysia’s financial landscape is at a pivotal juncture, marked by rapid transformation and groundbreaking innovation. From the revolutionary impact of AI on asset management to the evolving role of private credit and the emergence of new opportunities within the silver economy, understanding these shifts is crucial for strategic growth.

This year, we celebrate a significant milestone: Asia Asset Management’s 30th Anniversary – three decades dedicated to convening the region’s most influential financial leaders to navigate and shape these critical changes and enhance growth in a period of transition.

As Malaysia chairs ASEAN, this year’s forum will place a special emphasis on Inclusivity and Sustainability as key themes, alongside in-depth discussions on:

Capital Markets in Malaysia: The Way Forward
Role of Private Credit in Economy
30 Years of Asset Management in Malaysia: Past, Present and AI Future
Pensions and Investments: From Boomers to the Silver Economy
Wealth Management and Family Offices: The New Opportunity Set
