I am delighted that we sold out all seats at the conference and I am confident we can make this event an annual fixture in the Asian professional investment community’s calendar and, importantly, a key platform to raise awareness and funds to prevent and treat gynecological cancers for women in Hong Kong. Karen was a wonderfully strong and inspiring young woman, and this will be a fitting tribute to her life and last wishesKolkata Wealth Management. The support the Foundations have already received from the financial community in the lead up to the Conference has been impressive and gratifying, and we are looking forward to a highly successful inaugural event.”
