Direct Dialogue with Investment Consulting and Family Office Expertise

A new course, FINA 3336 – Investment Consulting, Institutional Business and Family Office, was added to the AMPB curriculum in the second semester of 2021-22. The course was led by two experienced industry practitioners, Ms. Janet Li and Mr. Edmond Lau, and aims to provide conceptual and practical approach to the understanding of the institutional investment consulting and family office business. It offers students learning opportunities with practitioners who can share real business challenges and insights of the latest industry developments as well as innovations.  To enrich students’ perspective, four guest speakers were invited for interactive lecture sessions with them.

 

Nurture deep understanding in the investment consulting industry dynamics

Mr. Alvin Tay,
Head of Investment Risk of The Hong Kong Jockey Club

Mr. Alvin Tay, Head of Investment Risk of The Hong Kong Jockey Club, was invited to share with students the typical investment roles and channels of an asset owner.  He also shared the skills required for students who are interested to be an asset owner.

Mr. David Chang,
ex CEO & Regional Head, Greater China of Franklin Templeton

Mr. David Chang, ex CEO & Regional Head, Greater China of Franklin Templeton, shared his career path and the volunteer work he endeavoured to over the years with the aim to give back to the community.  He also shared the typical organisation arrangements at asset management firms and deep dived into institutional business sales process and characteristics.

 

Recent trend in Asian family offices

Mr. Angus Chan,
COO and CFO of Sunlink Holdings (H.K.) Limited

Mr. Angus Chan, COO and CFO of Sunlink, shared about how the family office he works for is being structured and operated, so as to meet their objectives of community building.  Rather than purely focusing on financial returns to business operations, the family office hopes to grow in the education sector alongside with investments in real estate and technology.

Mr. Eddie Lau,
CEO of ARTA TechFin Corporation Limited (HKEx: 279 HK)

Mr. Eddie Lau, CEO of ARTA TechFin, shared with us the latest milestone ARTA has achieved in offering blockchain and data services to family offices and hedge funds. Mr. Lau also shared his insights on how virtual asset servicing can be integrated into traditional financial services.

 

Student Sharing

“Through the course, I got closer to the industry by getting insights into fund strategies, asset allocation, ESG and digital assets. Students were provided with step-by-step guidance in building technical skills and writing investment reports in a structured and professional manner.” Christina Li, AMPB 2022 student enrolled in FINA3336.

港大經管學院最新多模態AI圖像生成能力排名出爐 部份中國人工智能模型表現突出
港大經管學院今日發表《人工智能模型圖像生成能力綜合評測報告》,針對15個「文生圖模型」及7個「多模態大語言模型」進行全面評估。研究顯示,字節跳動的即夢AI和豆包,以及百度的文心一言,在新圖像生成的內容質素及圖像修改的表現突出;而早前引起全球關注的DeepSeek最新推出的文生圖模型Janus-Pro,則在新圖像生成方面表現欠佳。研究亦發現部分文生圖模型雖然在內容質素方面表現優異,卻在安全與責任方面的表現強差人意。整體而言,與文生圖模型相比,多模態大語言模型整體表現較佳。

人工智能圖像生成評測成績單公布: 字節跳動百度表現亮眼,DeepSeek Janus-Pro表現欠佳
如今,人工智能領域的前沿模型技術已經從文本處理拓展至視覺信息的深度理解與生成。這些模型既能精准解讀圖像語義,又能根據文字描述創作出兼具真實感與藝術性的視覺內容,展現出令人驚嘆的跨模態理解與創作能力。本研究聚焦全新圖像的生成和基于現有圖像的圖像修改兩大核心任務,提出了一套系統性的人工智能模型圖像生成能力評測框架。我們基于多維測試集的構建與專家評審,對15個專業文生圖模型和7個多模態大語言模型的圖像生成能力進行了全面評估。結果顯示,字節跳動的即夢AI和豆包以及百度的文心一言在新圖像生成的內容質量與修改任務中表現突出,位列第一梯隊。對比不同類型的AI模型,我們發現,相對于專業文生圖模型,多模態大語言模型整體表現更佳。
