The Hong Kong Investment Funds Association (HKIFA) has appointed Stephen Po as honorary adviser.
The non-profit trade association for the fund management industry in Hong Kong said this newly created role aims to contribute to its strategic goals and objectives to enhance the connectivity between Hong Kong and the Mainland China.
Po (pictured) will be responsible for providing advice and insight on regulatory matters in Hong Kong and Mainland China that are pertinent to the Hong Kong fund management industry.
His term will be for the current term of HKIFA Executive Committee, which ends in August 2025.
HKIFA Chairman Sam Yu said Po’s “extensive experience in financial market regulation and his profound understanding of the regulatory landscapes in Hong Kong and the Mainland China are invaluable assets to HKIFA as we continue to entrench Hong Kong’s position as an international fund management hub and a super connector between the Mainland China and the rest of the world.”
Po is currently an independent non-executive director of Citibank (Hong Kong) and China Securities, and a member of the Hang Sang Index advisory committee.
Prior to that he was executive director at the Hong Kong Insurance Authority and senior director at the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong.
