On 30th March, we had the privilege of hosting Prof. Arif Khurshed, Professor of Finance and Programme Director of the MSc Financial Management at The University of Manchester, for an enlightening masterclass session on Hong Kong’s IPO market.
Prof. Khurshed guided us through key questions: What does the future hold for Hong Kong’s IPO market? What sets HKEX apart from other global exchanges? His expertise provided attendees with insider knowledge that only one of the leading authorities in the field could deliver.
Beyond market outlooks, Prof. Khurshed offered practical advice on what investors should pay attention to, highlighting risks, considerations, and the nuances of IPO underpricing. His research insights into HKEX IPOs sparked lively discussion, with the audience deeply engaged and asking thoughtful questions throughout.
The turnout was fantastic, and the energy in the room reflected the relevance of the topic to both professionals and aspiring investors.
