Bangkok--30 Sep--KASIKORNBANK
KASIKORNBANK recently opened "KBank Private Banking Academy – Class 2" program, under the theme of KBank Private Banking Next Generation 2016, held for successors of high net worth individuals, offering in-depth knowledge and analysis for investment in diverse assets, as well as asset allocation with systematic risk management. The event is hoped to build a network for business extension in the future.
According to Ms. Kattiya Indaravijaya, KBank President, investors now have easy access to both domestic and global financial information, while many financial innovations have been created in response to investor demand. These trends are most notable among those in the high net worth individual segment, whose perspectives extend beyond the on-shore market.
Placing great emphasis on sustainable private wealth management, KBank offers the "KBank Private Banking Academy" program, under the theme of KBank Private Banking Next Generation 2016 as a crucial tool to assist business successors in analysis and investment for asset allocation towards returns that exceed expectations. Participants are also prepared to succeed their family businesses and assets. The program is designed to equip business successors with principles of asset analysis and investment, plus systematic risk management for asset allocation, applicable to their wealth management. Examples of global success stories are also provided. With cooperation from local and foreign professionals, activities of this course apply related theories to practice for greater understanding.
Participants in Class 2 increased from 60 to 84, given that the program details match customer needs. The program includes in-depth seminars on investment budget management, management skill enhancement in a number of topics, and "360-degree" activities. Apart from useful knowledge, connections are created among participants during the program for future business expansion. Experts also give lectures to share their successful business experiences. Other activities to fortify relations include a study tour in Hong Kong at Swiss-based Lombard Odier, a leading private bank and a partner of KBank, where participants are given a briefing on business succession and family asset management. They also have an opportunity to widen their perspectives as shared by Christie's Auction House, a world-renowned art auction firm, on investment in art which could generate huge future returns.
Ms. Kattiya added that the main objective for this program is to build business successors who can choose investments that are suited to them, and also can manage asset allocation in times of global economic uncertainty. These business successors will have their own social networks leading to the next generation of businesspersons. It is hoped that the program will be a stepping stone that creates a new generation of very well-informed high net worth individuals.
