The event invited renowned industry experts to interpret the implications of building a strong financial nation and the spirit of the 2026 National Two Sessions, while providing professional insights into macroeconomic trends and development strategies for the asset management sector during the inaugural year of the 15th Five-Year Plan period. Gao Xiangyang, President of the Beijing Asset Management Association and Party Committee Deputy Secretary and General Manager of ICBC Wealth Management Company, along with Kang Le, Director of the Beijing Asset Management Association and General Manager of Invesco Great Wall Fund Management Co., Ltd., attended the event and delivered speeches. Gao Xiangyang stated that the new journey of the "15th Five-Year Plan" has commenced, presenting the asset management industry with fresh development opportunities and the era's mission of contributing to the construction of a strong financial nation. The industry must align with policy directions, adhere to the original purpose of serving the real economy, strengthen its foundational development, strictly maintain compliance and robust operational standards, hone professional investment and research capabilities, persist in an innovation-driven development path, and deepen industry collaboration to build an open and symbiotic ecosystem. The Association will continue to work with member units and partner institutions to consolidate industry consensus, drive industry progress, and contribute significantly to the goal of building a strong financial nation.

During the thematic sharing segment of the event, special guests Chen Daofu, Deputy Director of the Financial Research Institute at the Development Research Center of the State Council, and Wang Yong, Assistant General Manager and Chief Asset Allocation Officer of Invesco Great Wall Fund Management Co., Ltd., delivered presentations. Chen Daofu pointed out that the fundamental objective of building a strong financial nation is to establish a modern financial system with Chinese characteristics. For institutions, this means balancing function and returns while prioritizing function, focusing on core businesses, improving governance, and pursuing differentiated development. Current challenges in the international monetary system also present opportunities; therefore, the "15th Five-Year Plan" period should seize this critical window to advance the internationalization of the Renminbi and digital yuan more effectively. The core policy orientation of the Two Sessions is to seek progress while maintaining stability, enhancing quality and efficiency. By continuously expanding domestic demand, optimizing supply, improving incremental growth, and revitalizing existing assets, a successful start to the "15th Five-Year Plan" can be achieved. Wang Yong noted that 2026 marks the beginning of the "15th Five-Year Plan," making economic work particularly crucial. The Two Sessions have set clear GDP growth targets, with fiscal policy becoming more proactive and monetary policy remaining appropriately accommodative. On the supply side, the focus is on increasing R&D investment and nurturing emerging pillar industries. On the demand side, the emphasis is on stimulating consumption as the core driver, stabilizing investment as a foundation, and prioritizing potential挖掘 and risk prevention. In the medium to long term, China's manufacturing sector retains its advantages. Moving forward, breakthroughs and support through technological advancement will promote dual circulation, both domestic and international, unleashing growth potential through economic structural transformation and upgrading. This event, jointly organized by the Beijing Asset Management Association and Invesco Great Wall Fund Management Co., Ltd., is a key component of the Association's "Wisdom in Asset Management" brand series. It attracted over 40 representatives from member institutions across various asset management sectors, including bank wealth management, insurance asset management, securities, funds, and trusts. Looking ahead, the Beijing Asset Management Association will continue to thoroughly implement the guidelines of the "15th Five-Year Plan" and the spirit of the 2026 National Two Sessions. Guided by the core objective of serving the construction of a strong financial nation, the Association will persistently develop the "Wisdom in Asset Management" high-quality industry exchange platform, pool industry wisdom, consolidate development consensus, and enhance the asset management industry's role in serving national strategies and supporting high-quality economic development, thereby contributing solidly to the accelerated building of a strong financial nation.
