Shanghai's Pudong Hosts 2026 Global Asset Management Conference

The 2026 Global Asset Management Conference opened in Pudong, Shanghai, on September 18. A relevant official from the Pudong New Area Committee Financial Office said in a speech that Pudong is the core carrier of Shanghai's international financial center development and a leading area for socialist modernization, and is developing its asset management business. After more than three decades of development, Pudong has gathered 13 national-level financial market infrastructure institutions and more than 1,250 licensed financial institutions of various types, forming a full-chain asset management ecosystem.

In 2026, the General Office of the Shanghai Municipal Government issued the Several Opinions on Deepening the Construction of Shanghai as a Global Asset Management Center, proposing that by 2030 Shanghai's assets under management exceed RMB 55 trillion, accounting for one-third of the national total. The document sets out the goals and action path for Shanghai's asset management development.

The relevant official from the Pudong New Area Committee Financial Office said Pudong will optimize the financial business environment, respond to institutions' development needs, improve full-cycle and full-chain government services, and promote the direction of asset management capital toward Pudong's three leading industries and six hardcore industries.
