Ahead of the Chinese New Year, Amundi China organized a day of institutional dialogue, market outlooks, and cultural initiatives at Longfu Cultural Center, a renovated historic site in the heart of Beijing.
It was an opportunity to demonstrate how global expertise in asset management can be anchored locally, with credibility and proximity.
Empowering Institutions for China’s Retirement and Insurance Transition
At the WOFE Q1 Elite Salon, we brought together nearly 20 clients from pension and insurance institutions alongside Marco Tang, Deputy CEO of Amundi Hong Kong and Head of Distribution for China and Hong Kong, Dominic Byrne, Global Head of Retirement Solutions of Amundi, Jian Xiong, Asia Insurance Specialist of Amundi, and Aidan Yao, Asia Senior Investment Strategist of Amundi, to share Amundi's European experience in addressing the challenge of low interest rates in China in a context of rapidly changing retirement and protection needs.
Rather than promoting predefined products, the discussions focused on concrete levers: asset allocation efficiency, diversification under regulatory constraints, and capital optimisation within the C-ROSS II framework, with the aim of strengthening institutional capabilities and the long-term resilience of portfolios.
