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.

港大经管学院最新多模态AI图像生成能力排名出炉 部份中国人工智能模型表现突出
港大经管学院今日发表《人工智能模型图像生成能力综合评测报告》,针对15个“文生图模型”及7个“多模态大语言模型”进行全面评估。研究显示,字节跳动的即梦AI和豆包,以及百度的文心一言,在新图像生成的内容质素及图像修改的表现突出;而早前引起全球关注的DeepSeek最新推出的文生图模型Janus-Pro,则在新图像生成方面表现欠佳。研究亦发现部分文生图模型虽然在内容质素方面表现优异,却在安全与责任方面的表现强差人意。整体而言,与文生图模型相比,多模态大语言模型整体表现较佳。

人工智能图像生成评测成绩单公布: 字节跳动百度表现亮眼,DeepSeek Janus-Pro表现欠佳
如今,人工智能领域的前沿模型技术已经从文本处理拓展至视觉信息的深度理解与生成。这些模型既能精准解读图像语义,又能根据文字描述创作出兼具真实感与艺术性的视觉内容,展现出令人惊叹的跨模态理解与创作能力。本研究聚焦全新图像的生成和基于现有图像的图像修改两大核心任务,提出了一套系统性的人工智能模型图像生成能力评测框架。我们基于多维测试集的构建与专家评审,对15个专业文生图模型和7个多模态大语言模型的图像生成能力进行了全面评估。结果显示,字节跳动的即梦AI和豆包以及百度的文心一言在新图像生成的内容质量与修改任务中表现突出,位列第一梯队。对比不同类型的AI模型,我们发现,相对于专业文生图模型,多模态大语言模型整体表现更佳。
