The Australian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and Macau represents the largest business community outside of Australia and is the second largest international chamber in Hong Kong, reflecting the growing strength of Australian business in Greater China.

 

Our Members are senior representatives from the major Australian companies in Hong Kong, as well as a cross-section of local and international businesses. The Chamber maintains a full schedule of events that are designed to keep Members informed of developments in their field of interest and provide opportunities for them to meet with other business people and promote their businesses.

 

AustCham represents the views and interests of Members to government departments and other organisations in Hong Kong, China and Australia. The Chamber is an active member of the International Business Committee (IBC), which comprises leaders of the major international chambers of commerce and business organisations who meet regularly with the Chief Secretary and other senior Hong Kong Government officials.

 

The Hong Kong Investment Funds Association (“HKIFA”) is a non-profit-making organization that represents the asset management industry in Hong Kong.    We have two major roles, namely consultation and education.  On consultation, we work closely with the authorities to relay the views of our members on issues that have implications for the asset management industry.  On education, we spearhead initiatives to enable Hong Kong people to understand more about the risk/return characteristics of mutual funds; and to use them effectively for retirement investment and other financial planning purposes.  We have 49 fund management companies as full/overseas members.  They manage about 1,270 SFC-authorized funds as at the end of March 2012, involving total assets of about US$1,000 billion.  In addition, we have 68 affiliate and associate members. (www.hkifa.org.hk) .
