1st Hong Kong Financial Planner of The Year Award
第一屆香港財務策劃師選舉
Financial planning is one of the fastest growing and most dynamic professions in the territory.
According to statistics compiled by the Census and Statistics Department and Planning Department of the Government of Hong Kong SAR, the financing, insurance, real estate and business services sector altogether employed about 457,000 persons in 1999, accounting for 14.8% of the working population.
This sector is projected to have the fastest growth in employment and will grow to 737,300 by 2010 and to 851,100 by 2030, representing 19.1% and 20.7% of the working population respectively.
Dr Sidney Sze, President of RFP-HK said, “Taking into the ageing factor of the population mix and therefore a higher demand for services in wealth management, it is almost certain that individuals engaging in financial planning related type of work will be growing at an even faster rate.”Besides, given the high economic growth and improving living standard in the Mainland, demand for financial planning services is expected to increase, he said, adding that “this shall provide more business opportunities for financial planners.”“As an organization dedicated to the promotion of professionalism in financial planning in Hong Kong, RFP-HK believes that it is now the right time to take a lead in organizing the “Hong Kong Financial Planner of the Year Award” to foster growth within the financial planning industry,” Dr Sze said.
The Society launched the Financial Planner of the Year Award on April 28 2003. The result was announced at Bankers Club on September 08 2003. Our Guest of Honour, Mr. Tony Miller, Permanent Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury (Financial Services), presented the awards to the winners. The press conference was attended by media representatives including press, radio and TV. The event was publicized on Oriental Daily News, Economic Times, Apple Daily News, Wen Wei Po and Sing Tao Yat Pao.
