Private investors in Hong Kong continue to see opportunities to grow their wealth but, in an uncertain global environment, a significant number are also focused on risk management.

In a sentiment Pulse Check survey conducted by HSBC in early July with over 1,000 local customers, nearly 68 per cent of respondents stated they expect no change to their wealth position or even an improvement by the end of the year.

At the same time, 20 per cent are more focused on risks than growth, and only 9 per cent expect their financial position to deteriorate over the remainder of the year.

The Pulse Check revealed how affluent customers are cautiously optimistic, with a growing interest in AI, machine learning, biotechnology and health care innovation trends. Diversification and risk management also top their list of priorities this year.
