HKIC capitalizing on 'Belt and Road' market

The Hong Kong Investment Corporation is optimistic about the “Belt and Road” market's potential and is seizing the opportunities, including the organization and forthcoming launch of the inaugural international patient capital forum in May to promote synergies among global patient capital institutions, says chief executive Clara Chan Ka-chai.

Chan also revealed that HKIC plans to lead a delegation to Southeast Asia next quarter to support its portfolio companies in expanding their business and building networks with regional partners.

Speaking at the strategic partnership signing ceremony with local fintech firm WeLab, Chan noted that this collaboration aligns with HKIC’s “Three-A” vision – making the products of its investee enterprises accessible, applicable and affordable to the general public.

She added that HKIC has invested in over 100 projects to date, and that for every HK$1 invested, more than HK$4 in long-term market capital has been catalyzed.
