Over the 30 years of my career as an equity analyst as well as a fund manager, I have been observing the structural changes in the financial and capital markets and the several domestic and global financial crises. Sharing my professional experience and insights with you, I would like to explore the global financial regulations after the global financial crisis as well as the future of financial services industries.
