More than 100 delegates attended the event to get the latest perspective on alternative investments, financial technology and challenges in fund operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Catherine Chen, founder and managing partner of AvantFaire Investment Management Limited, was invited to a panel titled \u201cHow Luxembourg Can Help in Asian Alternative Investments\u201d, in which the majority of the discussion concerned ESG investments.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mmbiz.qpic.cn\/mmbiz_jpg\/1PQ3nb2ulgcbk8Xia5cySNiaicicXdUEuQl8RxxhXR2pTO1iaXX6kWq0JGRmA1yrYLY5F5wP6hQMJ0Sq0e7fRC6e2aQ\/640?wx_fmt=jpeg&tp=webp&wxfrom=5&wx_lazy=1&wx_co=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\uff08Together with Mr. Andrew Gordon, RBC; Amelie Delaunay, ANREV;\u00a0Alessandro Silvestro,\u00a0Lemanik Group)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the panel, Ms. Chen elaborated how AvantFaire adopted ESG framework in two folds \u2013\u00a0internally in its company\u2019s operation such as savings in energy, air-conditioning and paper consumption, and externally in its investment process from investment project screening to impact result reporting. She also appreciated the role of Luxembourg as a centre of ESG education, such as hosting the annual Sustainability Forum to evangelise the ESG investment theme, creating \u201cLuxFLAG ESG Label\u201d to endorse genuine ESG practitioners, and acting as a knowledge centre of ESG for like-minded investors to cluster its ecosystem. To make the ESG theme sustainable, Ms. Chen reckoned the necessity of standardization of reporting, available of data and favourable policies from the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Chen concluded the panel by sharing the challenges in raising ESG funds since investors tend to invest in familiar products and lack the concept of asset allocation. She emphasized that impact investment managers would need to use a \u201cdesign-thinking\u201d approach to produce both financial and social returns without trade-offs, and keep investors educated and updated with the latest ESG trends and concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u4ee5\u4e0a\u62a5\u9053\u4e3a\u6211\u53f8\u521b\u59cb\u4eba\u517c\u5408\u4f19\u4eba\u9648\u806a\u5973\u751f\u4e8e2019\u5e749\u67084\u65e5\u5728\u5362\u68ee\u5821\u57fa\u91d1\u534f\u4f1a\u4e3e\u529e\u7684\u8bba\u575b\u4e0a\u5173\u4e8e\u5362\u68ee\u5821\u57fa\u91d1\u7ed3\u6784\u3001\u5f71\u54cd\u529b\u6295\u8d44\u5728\u6b27\u6d32\u53ca\u4e9a\u6d32\u7684\u5e94\u7528\u3001\u4ee5\u53ca\u5362\u68ee\u5821\u91d1\u878d\u7ba1\u7406\u5c40\u4e3a\u5f71\u54cd\u529b\u6295\u8d44\u63d0\u4f9b\u7684\u6807\u51c6\u53ca\u6ce8\u518c\u8fdb\u884c\u7684\u6f14\u8bb2\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mmbiz.qpic.cn\/mmbiz_jpg\/1PQ3nb2ulgcbk8Xia5cySNiaicicXdUEuQl8TwuBjBNt6MOPwicjcEfuFhujr2UrPOe8sjias7CHyuzhldYgJepRqC1Q\/640?wx_fmt=jpeg&tp=webp&wxfrom=5&wx_lazy=1&wx_co=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Photo\u00a0Credit: Catherine Chen.\u00a0View of\u00a0Grand Ducal Palace of Luxembourg.)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry (ALFI) hosted the \u201cTransfer Agent &#038; Asset Servicing Forum\u201d in Hong Kong on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"a3_pvc":{"activated":false,"total_views":0,"today_views":0},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avantfaireim.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avantfaireim.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avantfaireim.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avantfaireim.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avantfaireim.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=610"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.avantfaireim.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avantfaireim.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avantfaireim.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avantfaireim.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
