HSBC has been a strategic partner and lead sponsor for the Allocate to China initiative (ATC) since its launch two years ago.
China is an important market for HSBC and ATC is closely aligned to our goals to increase participation and flows in China cross-border investments.
I continue to be impressed by the quality of the speakers and how well-attended ATC events have been by leading international and Chinese managers.
This gives us a great opportunity to gain valuable intelligence about new China strategies, products and investment vehicles.
Sebastien Danloy, Global Head of Asset Owners & Managers, HSBC Securities Services

We are proud to be strategic partners of the Allocate to China Initiative.
The ATC team are creative, responsive and very much plugged into the investment market both in the UK and China. Their connections are absolutely first-rate and,
when paired with the contacts and knowhow of the strategic partners, this has made for some really first-rate ATC events. Simmons & Simmons has certainly benefitted from involvement with the ATC Initiative, getting access to great market information and a really extensive network of contacts with common interests.
Asset management is a huge part of our business, both in the UK and China, and the ATC Initiative team have certainly helped us push this forward in both jurisdictions.
David Williams, Partner, Simmons & Simmons
