Exploring the differences between the perceptions and reality of the Asian HNWIs Following the morning introduction to M&G’s research on high net worth investors, Ben Cherrington will lead an interactive discussion, exploring and debating salient insights from the findings.

Moderator: Ben Cherrington, Director, Intermediary Channels, Asia Pacific, M&G Investments c. The evolution of technology influencing the buying habits and manufacturing of structured products We would like to take this opportunity to discuss advisory, technology and solution driven approaches to family offices and independent asset managers.
