Hong Kong Investment Funds Association: Virtual assets continue to attract investor interest

ChainCatcher news, the Hong Kong Investment Funds Association and KPMG jointly released a report titled "Vision 2030: The Future of Hong Kong's Fund Management Industry," stating that Hong Kong's position as a major asset management center in Asia remains solid, but there is still room to further strengthen cross-border wealth management programs and tax incentive policies to promote steady industry development.

The report points out that Hong Kong is diversifying its investments, opening up more asset classes to retail investors, especially with the growing interest in alternative assets. Many fund management companies have successively launched products in investment areas such as private equity, private credit, infrastructure assets, and real estate to meet the increasing demand.

The report also indicates that virtual assets continue to attract investor interest, with an expanding range of investment options including virtual asset ETFs. Recent regulatory developments help enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness, making it a preferred location for fund management companies to invest in emerging asset classes.
