HONG
KONG, Jan. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Noah
Holdings Limited's ("Noah" or "the Company") (NYSE: NOAH, HKEX:
6686) newly launched global wealth management platform for global
Chinese investors, ARK Wealth Management, held its latest Black and
Diamond Client Summit Series event in Hong Kong on January
13-15, 2025: ARK Hong Kong New Year Special Summit.
When the macroeconomic landscape shifts drastically, it becomes
increasingly important to strategically adjust asset allocation.
Noah's Black and Diamond Client Summit Series has been held for
fifteen consecutive years, establishing itself as the Company's
premier annual event and key platform for client engagement
offering deep insights into macroeconomic trends and
forward-looking asset allocation strategies.
Noah recently launched a comprehensive upgrade of its
internationally focused brands: ARK Wealth Management, Olive Asset
Management, and Glory Family Heritage. This initiative aims to
provide exceptional wealth management, asset allocation, and
comprehensive service solutions for high-net-worth Chinese clients
worldwide. ARK Wealth Management will continue this tradition of
hosting this flagship annual event.
Over 20 industry leaders were in attendance at the Summit,
including experts in global macroeconomics, digital assets, asset
allocation, and wealth inheritance. They engaged in discussion on
pressing topics such as global macroeconomic trends, digital asset
investment strategies, and asset allocation in the new era.
Additionally, attendees were given a preview of the deep insights
on wealth management outlined in Noah's 2025 CIO Report.
During remarks given at the Summit, Zander Yin, Co-founder and CEO of Noah
Holdings, stated, "Wealth management has entered a new cycle.
Looking back at the evolution of wealth management in China since 2000, we can clearly see the
transition from a non-standardized product-oriented 1.0 era to the
standardized 2.0 era. Influenced by shifts in the global economic
landscape, we are now officially entering the 3.0 era of global
asset allocation."
"Investors should focus on markets with a positive beta, taking
into consideration the various asset classes available and their
performance metrics. It is also essential to adopt a bottom-line
mindset to establish a secure foundation and fundamental
support."
Mr. Yin further emphasized, "As changes in the economic cycle
reshape the wealth distribution landscape, investors must enhance
their understanding to seize structural opportunities created by
emerging trends such as AI while managing risk. Financial
institutions should also move away from traditional thinking and
adopt a holistic approach to client accounts, enhancing engagement
and truly prioritizing client needs to improve asset allocation
capabilities."
Macroeconomic Trends: Navigating the New Global
Landscape
At the Summit, Michele Wucker,
author of The Gray Rhino: How to Recognize and Act on the
Obvious Dangers We Ignore, gave a keynote speech where she
shared her outlook for 2025 and emphasized the urgent need for
proactive risk management in the face of significant global
challenges. She highlighted that while many view crises as threats,
they can also present opportunities for innovation and investment.
She encouraged attendees to embrace creative destruction. Wucker
pointed out critical issues such as climate change, geopolitical
tensions, and the implications of AI on job markets. She urged
businesses to recognize these challenges as catalysts for change
and innovation rather than obstacles. The speech concluded with a
call for investors to adopt a long-term perspective, focusing on
diversification and strategic responses to navigate the
complexities of the current economic landscape effectively.
During a panel discussion on global macroeconomic trends in
2025, panellists addressed the pressing issues of climate change,
investment strategies, and the implications of U.S. policy shifts
under the new Trump administration. Panellists highlighted the
urgent need for global action to reduce emissions and adapt to
climate impacts, emphasizing that both governments and individuals
share responsibility. They discussed the challenges faced by
insurance companies in covering natural disaster claims and
stressed the importance of resilience measures for future
protection. Investment strategies were also a focal point, with
each speaker recommending diversification across asset classes and
geographic regions to navigate uncertainties. The panel concluded
by exploring opportunities in AI and digital assets, advocating for
a thoughtful approach to investment in these rapidly evolving
sectors. Overall, the discussion underscored the need for proactive
measures in both environmental stewardship and financial planning
to effectively address future challenges.
Opportunities in the New Era: AI and Digital Assets in a
Global Macroeconomic Context
The Summit underscored the importance of prioritizing long-term
investments while balancing short-term opportunities through
thorough research on market demand, technological trends, and
policy support. Evaluating a company's financial health, management
team, and market competitiveness is vital for maximizing investment
returns.
AI has emerged as a key sector for future growth. Drawing
parallels with past technological shifts, AI is poised to create a
new class of tech giants and significant investment opportunities.
Investing in U.S. index funds related to AI offers investors a way
to benefit from growth and technological progress. Furthermore,
data centers are critical infrastructure for the ongoing
development of AI. Demand for these facilities is expected to
triple over the next four to five years, creating investment
opportunities within supporting infrastructure sectors.
As traditional financial systems and the global trading order
transform, digital assets are growing in importance as their
regulatory frameworks gradually becoming clearer. In 2025,
digital assets are expected to enter two new cycles: one driven by
new policies from the incoming Trump administration, and the other
emerging from advancements in AI which will merge to create new
opportunities. With the support from both new policies and
technological developments, digital assets are anticipated to
perform well over the next decade, becoming a crucial sector for
future asset allocation.
In line with these trends, Noah has consistently invested in
technology over the past few years. The Company is leveraging AI to
enhance operational efficiency and service clients at the highest
standards. Going forward, Noah will continue optimizing service
quality and content while strengthening its product matrix to
deliver high-quality personalized wealth management services that
support sustainable growth and wealth inheritance for global
high-net-worth Chinese clients.
