The further opening up of the financial market and the growth of the Greater Bay Area present excellent opportunities for us. As the world’s largest wealth manager, we are committed to offering professional wealth management services and investor education in China, contributing to the healthy development of the Chinese financial market."
Amy Lo, Co-head, UBS Wealth Management Asia Pacific said, "UBS was the first international wealth manager to establish a presence in Qianhai, Shenzhen. We would like to thank CSRC and its Shenzhen Bureau, the Shenzhen municipal government as well as the Qianhai Authority for their strong support. We will increase our investment in the Greater Bay Area in support of Shenzhen-Hong Kong collaboration.”
