The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (HSBC) organised a Wealth Management seminar on planning for eventual retirement, the second in a series of its financial planning seminars, at the Orchid Garden Hotel in Berakas last night.

Mr Marcus Hurry, the Chief Executive Officer of HSBC, in his welcoming remarks said that the seminar was organised as a result of comment, feedback and input provided by the audience from the previous seminar.

He said that HSBC would make every effort to enhance its relationship with customers. In this respect, he said that HSBC presented the second seminar on Wealth Management for eventual retirement.

"As investment climates change and new investment products become available, we must continue to deepen our knowledge of what the customers want," he said.

He believed that through such activity, HSBC will respond to the trust that customers give and to help to manage the customers' wealth with local knowledge and integrity.

He was also delighted to welcome back to Brunei and to reintroduce Martin Worley, the investment specialist from HSBC Jersey, and Cecilia Kong, the Manager of Wealth Management Centre in the capital.

Last night's seminar focused on Investment Strategies to build wealth, the concept of Retirement Planning and the investment opportunities with the products offered by HSBC.

The presentation also covered topics like the needs for retirement planning, investment as one of the tools to accumulate wealth, outlook of the market and investment opportunities available with HSBC.

About 200 people attended the event. Members of the audience were given the opportunity to ask questions on the various issues highlighted during the presentation.
