January 1, 2025
Esteemed Colleagues and Friends,
Warmest greetings as we usher in 2025! On behalf of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association, I extend heartfelt wishes for your health, successful careers, and joyful family lives in the coming year.
Reflecting on the past year, our association has steadfastly pursued its mission to serve our members and foster industry growth, achieving significant milestones across various domains. We've fortified our association development and amplified our industry presence.
Externally, we've broadened our outreach by collaborating with media outlets, publishing industry-specific articles, and establishing a LinkedIn page alongside an official WhatsApp channel. These efforts ensure timely dissemination of industry trends and association updates, enhancing our connection with members and expanding our influence.
Internally, we've fostered member engagement through a series of gatherings and professional seminars on pressing topics like industry evolution and the Capital Investor Immigration Scheme. These initiatives provide valuable insights and wider perspectives. We've also reached out to academic institutions, hosting youth employment seminars to share practical insights and industry forecasts, encouraging young talent to join the financial sector and nurturing future industry leaders.
In public affairs, our association has been vocal on the “Severe Weather Trading” policy, a matter that has attracted considerable industry attention. We've submitted proposals, issued public statements, and maintained dialogue with pertinent authorities, emphasizing the increased operational pressures and safety concerns for practitioners. Despite the government's stance, we remain hopeful that fairness and reason will prevail. We will vigilantly monitor the policy's impact to advocate for a balanced approach safeguarding practitioners' interests.
On the international front, our association has achieved substantial progress. We visited Malaysia to engage with financial institutions, participated in global financial forums, and learned from local successes, establishing a robust foundation for future collaboration. As global financial markets become increasingly integrated, we aim to strengthen Hong Kong's ties with the international community, unlocking new opportunities for our industry.
In recent years, the industry has faced numerous challenges, from the social upheavals of 2019 to the pandemic of 2020 and economic fluctuations. Despite these pressures and a temporary decline in membership, the resilience and dedication of our members have restored confidence and driven recovery. Our active membership now surpasses 2,900, a testament to our collective efforts.
This year, we've embraced our social responsibilities by organizing recreational activities and engaging in community service. Additionally, our new website is now live, offering members easier access to information and resources.
As we look toward 2025, we recognize the coexistence of challenges and opportunities. Our association is committed to working alongside you all, fostering the industry's sustainable growth. The future's prosperity hinges on your active participation and support. Together, we can build a brighter future beyond the storm.
Wishing you all a joyous new year, robust health, and unparalleled success in your endeavors!
With best regards,
Mofiz Chan
