Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/29/2022 -- New research has identified that vacancies for fintech talent are on the rise since the pandemic began to wind down, with a wealth of opportunities for those in fintech jobs.

One of the key challenges for many organisations is going to be finding the right talent to fill these positions, as there are major shortages across the tech sector today. Experts predict that the rate of expansion of the fintech market going forward will depend, to a certain extent, on how able enterprises are to find the right people to help their organisation to grow. Adoption of fintech products continues to expand exponentially, while the tech labor market remains tight, so there are major challenges ahead for the firms that are involved in this market.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/31/2022 -- Increasing compliance concerns have been a key theme across the banking and financial services sector in recent years. As pressure grows on enterprises to be more responsive, the market for global banking risk management is set to boom. Many banks have not been able to develop the internal competencies necessary to deal with the increasingly heavy burden of compliance. That's especially so given that compliance has expanded significantly in recent times to include additional risk sources, from channel and product to customer and operations. One of the biggest challenges that many organisations face is the way that risk management and compliance have become entangled with many other areas of operations and yet existing processes don't take this into account. For example, many banks have separated out risk management from customer experience programs even though the two are clearly interlinked. As a result of all these factors, there is going to be an increasing need for talent in global banking risk management and the market is set to boom.

When it comes to risk management jobs, the market boom is going to create many more opportunities for talented people to take career-defining next steps in the coming years. Selby Jennings is well placed to support connections between banks looking to create a more cohesive approach to compliance and those individuals that could potentially make that happen. The firm was established in 2004 and risk management jobs is a key area of expertise.

A combination of permanent, contract and multi-hire solutions ensures that every hiring need can be met.

Risk management jobs across the Asia Pacific region are likely to experience a spike in the years to come thanks to the factors mentioned. With local expertise and networks, Selby Jennings is going to be a key partner for enterprises looking to fill skills gaps. The firm's reach also goes much wider, as the team in Hong Kong is part of a 1,000+ strong worldwide workforce. In addition, Selby Jennings is also the recruitment partner of choice to hundreds of world-leading companies as part of the Phaidon International group, which operates across 6 countries. Being able to support industries going through significant change, such as that affecting risk management jobs today, requires extensive, advanced recruitment resources.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/27/2022 -- Captive insurance has been a key theme over the past year, as policy initiatives have emerged aimed at securing Hong Kong's place as a key hub for global trade. As identified in the Insurance Authority's annual report, these initiatives have focused on four areas of captive insurance: insurance-linked securities (ILS), marine and specialty risk insurance, and reinsurance. The report highlights how legislative amendments have worked to make Hong Kong an ideal captive domicile for risk management insurers. The report focuses on Hong Kong's position close to Mainland China, as well as the fact that it is already renowned as a global financial centre. This combination, it says, "make it an ideal captive domicile for Mainland Chinese enterprises with overseas projects."

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/14/2022 -- When it comes to becoming the dominant pool of liquidity for China stock futures, the Hong Kong stock exchange has made a major move to seize market share from rival Singapore, breaking the city state's grip. This has resulted in an international-level battle in terms of how investors all over the world hedge Chinese equities. Singapore is still the biggest centre in the world for so-called A share futures and will remain so despite the inroads that Hong Kong is making. However, there is no doubt that the balance is changing. The current shift is not only pitting the Hong Kong market share against Singapore but also has much wider implications too. It is positioning BlackRock - the world's largest provider in exchange traded funds - against Chinese fund companies and MSCI against FTSE Russell, for example. There is no doubt that 2022 is going to be a pivotal year in terms of the fight for the futures market.

The team at Selby Jennings has extensive experience in helping organisations to navigate the kind of change happening around China stock futures today.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/10/2022 -- Hong Kong is the ideal environment when it comes to fintech innovation thanks to a number of key factors. For example, in 2020 the financial services sector made up 21% of Hong Kong's GDP. Not only that but 78 of the 100 most significant banks in the world have a presence in Hong Kong, as well as a myriad of other financial services players, such as asset managers and brokers. Hong Kong also has the second deepest funding pool in Asia, according to the most recent figures, ranking only behind the Chinese when it comes to financial funding. Despite the impact of the pandemic on this area, and globally, there was no decline in that funding pool - in fact, the latest figures show an increase of 8% in 2020. There is also an incredibly diverse range of investors here, all of which provide an incredibly robust capital base that makes Hong Kong a springboard for fintech innovation.

With a history that stretches back to 2004, Selby Jennings has worked with innovative businesses keen to expand into fintech in Hong Kong for many years. The firm is a specialist fintech recruiter with a background of hiring expertise across many other vital areas of banking and financial services too. In addition to being a well-respected fintech recruiter the firm also provides expert recruitment support in areas such as corporate and investment banking, risk management quantitative research and trading and legal and compliance.

The firm is also the recruitment partner of choice to hundreds of world-leading companies as part of the Phaidon International group, which operates across 6 countries.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2022 -- The outlook for 2022 is considerably brighter than the previous 12 months, despite the ongoing impact of the pandemic. Risk management data from 2021 has revealed that there is cause for optimism across Hong Kong and that recovery is underway. The financial outlook, for example, has been boosted by ongoing economic resurgence throughout 2021 with an increase in real GDP and a reduced unemployment rate. Despite the tourism sector still being affected by the impact of the pandemic, other markets - such as the housing sector - are showing some green shoots. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the city has also recovered with a surge in FDI coming from reinvested earnings and intracompany loans. As a result, Hong Kong is now the third hottest global economy by FDI inflows. From its favourable tax regime, to the easy listing process, robust regulatory framework and lack of capital controls there are many reasons why Hong Kong is going to remain a key financial business hub going forward.

Risk management data like this is vital to a firm like Selby Jennings, which is expert at providing the latest insight to organisations and individuals focused on risk management jobs. As Hong Kong continues to thrive, the need for talented people in this specialised field is going to spike. The firm was established in 2004 and has gone on to build a reputation as a go to team for risk management jobs, as well as a broad spectrum of other areas across banking and financial services. These fields include corporate and investment banking, as well as financial technology, legal and compliance, insurance and actuarial, investment management, sales and trading and quantitative research and trading. Over the years, Selby Jennings has built up essential resources to help ensure the team can deliver on every aspect of risk management jobs, including nurturing a database of more than a million mid-to-senior professionals and contacts at businesses across the global sector. The firm works with a combination of permanent, contract and multi-hire solutions to provide hiring options for every scenario.

International reach is essential to the world as it is today and Selby Jennings is able to offer this to both clients and candidates when it comes to risk management jobs. The team in Hong Kong is part of a 1,000+ strong worldwide workforce and the firm is the recruitment partner of choice to hundreds of world-leading companies as part of the Phaidon International group, which operates across 6 countries. Selby Jennings experts are able to support many different types of companies this way, from agile start-ups to international institutions. The team at Selby Jennings is a key part of ensuring the firm can deliver to the same high standards across the board - consultants are trained on an ongoing basis and work with best-in-class recruitment technology and strategies. There are a number of different roles available via Selby Jennings today including Market Data Specialist, Senior eFX Quantitative Trader and M&A Associate.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2021 -- Financial technology is gaining huge ground all across the Asia Pacific region. Now, a recent survey reveals just how much consumers are getting behind innovation in this area. The data revealed that 35% of Hong Kong citizens said that they were open to using cryptocurrencies or central digital bank currencies as a way to make payments in the next five years. The result indicates that cryptocurrencies are about to become a much more viable payment option than they have ever been in this part of the world. 12% of those who took part in the survey indicated that cryptocurrencies were likely to become their main method of payment in the coming years. Central bank digital currencies are currently the preferred option for those who are going to switch to this type of payment even though this has yet to be formally developed. There are many reasons why people are keen to switch to cryptocurrencies, with the desire to avoid creating a taxable event on sale being among the top.

Established in 2004, Selby Jennings is a leading specialist Fintech recruiter focused on supplying the talent that enterprises need to keep up with innovation in this field. The firm supports a broad spectrum of organisations, from disruptors and market innovators to global financial institutions keen to reach new markets.

The team in Hong Kong is also part of a 1,000+ strong international workforce that ensures it has a genuinely worldwide presence.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2021 -- The Archegos collapse sent shockwaves across the industry, especially when the hedge fund entered a forced liquidation of more than $20 billion. For many across the sector this was a big warning sign as the problem had been caused by Archegos building up huge stakes in some stocks through swaps. The response to the scandal was varied across the world and the Hong Kong market regulator revealed this summer that it was developing new protection against something like this ever happening again. This takes the form of a track exposure mechanism to dangerously concentrated stocks that is designed to help ensure that we never see a repeat of what happened with Archegos. The new system is built around centralised trading databases that will provide the insight to identify excessive risk-taking by banks and investment funds trading derivatives in the city. Regulators in the US have also been paying close attention to the progress of the project in Hong Kong.

Selby Jennings is a leading specialist in banking and financial services recruitment supporting talented people across a broad variety of different areas, including risk management jobs. The firm was established in 2004 and since then has built up a database of more than a million mid-to-senior professionals as well as key connections with enterprises across the sector.

The team in Hong Kong enjoys extensive reach in Asia Pacific and is also part of a global workforce of 1,000+ that ensures a genuinely international perspective in this broad sector.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2021 -- The future looks bright for Hong Kong listed technology stocks, as they are currently on track to leave their mainland China counterparts for dust. Investors are being attracted to easing regulatory issues as well as cheaper valuations and the result is that HK tech stocks are outperforming China equivalents at a higher level than any time in the past three years. The Hang Seng Tech Index jumped by 10% in October while the ChiNet Index saw a gain of just 1.2%. Quantitative strategists across the world have already started to pick up that China's growth stocks are now very reasonably valued. Companies that are not trading at extreme multiples are starting to appear on quant screens. The shift in trading performance represents the biggest gap between Hong Kong listed tech stocks and those in China since January 2019 and will come as good news for those who were hoping to see the market pick up in this way.

Selby Jennings is a leading quant recruiter and specialist in hiring to the banking and financial services sector. The firm was established in 2004 and has built up a practice with extensive expertise in both general and niche areas of the industry.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2021 -- The costs of financial crime continue to rise globally and it often falls to institutions in the banking and financial services sector to bear the brunt of the financial loss. Fraudulent transactions at financial industry organisations can have a huge impact on everything, from business continuity to reputation and share price, whether that fraud is internal or external. Not only that but fraud is on the rise thanks to the wide range of availability of near-instant payment platforms. One survey found that four out of five APAC banks have seen their fraud losses increase. Plus, 22% expect fraud to spike significantly over the coming 12 months. Real-time payment technology is at the heart of the problem, as it provides no time for banks to clear transactions or payments - this is clearly an area where mitigation of risk and advances in technology need a little time to realign.

Established in 2004, Selby Jennings is a leading specialist recruiter to the banking and financial services sector in Asia Pacific. The firm has extensive expertise in risk management jobs and also specialises in a number of other key fields in the sector, including financial technology, quantitative research and trading, investment management, sales and trading and legal and compliance.

Key to success at Selby Jennings has been the emphasis that the business places on people. The firm knows that talent drives growth and has extensive experience in making vital connections that allow organisations across the sector to recruit for resilience and expansion. The same approach is applied internally too - Selby Jennings invests heavily in its own people and also provides best-in-class recruitment technology and strategies for staff to work with. In addition to being part of a global workforce, the firm is also the recruitment partner of choice to hundreds of world-leading companies as part of the Phaidon International group, which operates across 6 countries.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/13/2021 -- A national digital currency has been the theme for many countries in recent months and Hong Kong has now taken the first steps towards making this a reality. The Hong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has issued a whitepaper on the e-HKD looking at the design options and the architecture that could be put in place to make this happen. HKMA made it clear that the whitepaper is not a decision to launch a digital currency but to look into what might be required to bring it into being. It comes after speculation about the possibility of using the Chinese Central Bank's digital currency in Hong Kong. If the digital currency does eventually get the go ahead it will have many different implications, including when it comes to the Hong Kong currency's existing US dollar peg. The idea is to make it easier for people and businesses to use the full spectrum of payment options and to ensure that Hong Kong is ahead of the game on fintech innovation.

Selby Jennings was established in 2004 and is a financial technology recruiter with a finger on the pulse of banking and financial services evolution in the region. In addition to expertise as a financial technology recruiter the firm is also well known for experience in a range of other key hiring fields, including corporate and investment banking, quantitative research and trading, legal and compliance, risk management, investment management and sales and trading. The firm has extensive ties in the region and an in-depth understanding of the hiring market within banking and financial services here. It has also established a database of more than a million mid-to-senior professionals and connections with hiring managers across a broad spectrum of businesses. A combination of permanent, contract and multi-hire solutions ensure that there are hiring options for every need and every organisation, whether a small start-up or a global brand.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/04/2021 -- Technology is changing the way that businesses and economies function and that applies across the board today. Wall Street banks are the latest to make moves towards a more tech-driven future by accelerating efforts to use automation to take the "grunt work" out of the hands of juniors.

The need to find new ways to improve efficiency, retain key staff and make an organisation more streamlined and effective continues to be pressing.

One of those looking to shift focus in the region is Citigroup, which has already begun to move away from retail banking in this part of the world in order to focus on investment banking. Citigroup Inc is driving ahead with plans to establish fresh investment banking and trading operations in China. When the move was first announced, a Citi insider said that the firm planned to apply for a securities licence that would enable it to write yuan-denominated shares and carry out trading for clients, as well as applying for a licence for futures brokering. While none of this has been confirmed in detail, Citi's move indicates just how much interest there is in the region today and how much investment banking developments in China & Hong Kong are likely to spike in the coming months and years.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/27/2021 -- The airline industry has been on the frontline of the impact of COVID-19 with carriers - and investors - really feeling the effects of a world that has largely shut its borders over the past 12 months. Now there are signs of trouble for investors in Cathay Pacific's foreign-currency bonds, as prices drop. Despite the fact that there has been an improvement in operating data this has not been enough to offset the impact of an incredibly challenging year for Hong Kong's flagship carrier. There was some good news in August as the carrier's first-half losses were narrowed to HK$7.6 billion - this is down from HK$9.9 billion the year before. However, it's becoming clear that the pandemic is very much not over, with a spike in cases in mainland China once again, and this is having consequences. In particular, the carrier faces losing its unused runway slots at overseas airports because of the heavy restrictions currently in place in Hong Kong. This has led to some troubling price drops in foreign-currency bonds that are leaving investors nervous.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/04/2021 -- Fintech has been a significant growth area and has exciting potential for those pursuing financial services careers in Hong Kong. However, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) is currently taking steps to rein in the monopolistic behaviour that many fintech firms have been displaying. Most recently, Jack Ma's Ant Group has been on the receiving end of sanctions from the PBOC. According to the central bank, Ant Group is not the only offender as many other mobile payment companies have breached anti-monopoly laws and the PBOC intends to take action against them. While this is likely to have a slowing effect on the fintech sector in the short term, the idea behind the action being taken is to ensure that the fintech sector develops in a healthy way in this part of the world in the future. The statement of action by the PBOC came shortly after a pledge by the State Council to overhaul the way that companies raising capital are regulated.

Hong Kong, China -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/24/2021 -- China has taken another step towards the integration of the country's financial system with global markets that could see billions of dollars flow into Hong Kong.
