HONG KONG, Sep 27, 2016 - (ACN Newswire) - The Everbright Investment Conference 2016, organised by the China Everbright Group's largest overseas financial investment flagship, China Everbright Limited ("CEL", stock code: 165.HK), will be held on 19 - 21 October 2016 at the Shangri-La Hotel, Qingdao.

Entering its fifth year following previous successes in Sanya, Xiamen, Shanghai and Chongqing, the Everbright Investment Conference is one of the most influential summits and platforms for the asset management industry. With more than 1,000 institutional investors and senior executives participating in the previous four conferences, it has become an important event where investment heavyweights gather to analyse economic and investment environments, share new trends and market developments, and identify new opportunities for investment.

In the face of highly complex economic and financial conditions, China is pushing for reforms in the financial market - speeding up the renminbi's internationalisation, accelerating the marketisation of interest rates and expanding capacity for developing innovative financial products. With banks, securities firms, trusts and funds jumping on the alternative asset allocation bandwagon, a new age of alternative asset management is dawning on the industry. In view of these new opportunities and challenges, the theme of this year's conference will be "From Insight to Foresight: A New Era of Alternative Asset Management", setting the stage for participants to explore alternative asset allocation with a new vision and from a fresh perspective.

A number of top investors, business leaders, experts and academics have been invited to attend this year's conference and speak at the event. Mr Chen Shuang, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of CEL, will deliver the opening speech, during which he will also provide an update on the latest developments at CEL. Also in attendance will be Mr Guan Tao, Senior Fellow and Member of the Academic Committee of the China Finance 40 Forum and the former Director-General of the Department of Balance of Payments at the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, Mr Hugo Shong, Founding General Partner of IDG Capital Partners, and Mr Liu Jun, Deputy General Manager of China Everbright Group Limited, Deputy Chairman of CEL's Board of Directors, who will draw from their years of research and hands-on experience in finance to focus on how cross-border investment can drive the growth of Chinese enterprises. They will also share their unique insights on current and future economic and investment prospects.

At the panel discussion session, industry leaders will discuss the vitality of the 'Industry + Finance' investment model in China and new investment opportunities in the current environment. They include Mr Thomas Deng, Managing Director, Regional Chief Investment Officer for Greater China and Chief China Strategist in Chief Investment Office of UBS Wealth Management; Mr Jason Jiang, Founder and Chairman of Focus Media; Mr Frank Tang, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner of FountainVest Partners; and Mr Zhang Mingao, General Manager of Asset Management Department of China Everbright Bank.
