In the session “Expanding and Enhancing the Connect Programs: Trends and Prospects,” Lin discussed the evolving landscape for mainland Chinese investors, emphasizing their increasing focus on long-term asset investments and a more strategic approach. He also noted that high-net-worth individuals are increasingly entrusting their wealth to professional fund managers, resulting in diversification strategies that transcend single markets or asset classes.
Lin emphasized the need for an expanded ETF Connect framework to enhance portfolio diversification, advocating for a broader range of globally exposed ETFs. He also expects the establishment of an IPO Connect to improve access to high-quality stocks for mainland investors.
