Hong Kong – 9 September 2024: We are delighted to announce that Greg Norman, one of the world’s most successful athletes-turned-businessmen, will headline our Investors’ Forum this year. Known as much for his entrepreneurial spirit as his dominance on the golf course, Norman is one of the most prolific players in the sport’s history: he holds 91 professional tournament victories, including the prestigious Open Championship titles in 1986 and 1993, and defended the world number one ranking for 331 weeks.
In 2021, Norman took on the role of CEO and commissioner of LIV Golf, a revolutionary professional men’s tour attracting top players globally with its innovative format. He has played a pivotal role in elevating golf’s profile worldwide by finally showcasing it as an asset class. By recognising fragmented marketplaces where inefficiencies and opportunities exist, his leadership exemplifies excellence and strategic expansion, making him a key figure in sports and business.
Running from 9-12 September at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, our 31st CITIC CLSA Investors’ Forum is packed with an engaging agenda that translates our extensive Asia experience and unique insights into actionable investment ideas. Our event brings together over 2,000 investors and more than 1,000 senior executives from around 400 leading companies, to explore the critical macro, geopolitical and strategic issues that dominate portfolios.
Edward Park, Deputy Chief Executive Officer at CITIC CLSA, said, “This year, our Forum will dive deep into the economic impact of the 2024 US Presidential Election; rapid advances in AI and chip technology; evolving consumer behaviour; and the dynamic world of cryptocurrency. We are committed to arming our clients with the knowledge and resources needed to effectively navigate the complexities of global markets, with a particular emphasis on the dynamic opportunities within the Asia Pacific region.”
Among other distinguished speakers and big-picture thinkers, our Forum features communications and polling expert Frank Luntz; cryptocurrency-focused venture capitalist Mark Streeter; AI and semiconductor specialist Christopher Thomas; former professional poker player Caspar Berry; and private equity veteran Weijian Shan.
Shaun Cochran, Head of Research at CLSA, added, “We are thrilled to welcome such prominent speakers to this year’s Forum. With the diverse range of topics and insights on offer, our delegates will gain a comprehensive understanding of the key trends and challenges in today’s investment landscape. Like every year, we are confident that our Investors’ Forum will inspire and inform our attendees.”
