La Trobe Financial has decided to broaden its Asian footprint and opened an office in Hong Kong, which will be headed by the group’s executive director, Asia-Pacific, Hung Fei Chan.

The new Hong Kong office would be expected to complement the company’s established Shanghai office, which had been held by La Trobe since 2009 and which established operations in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone (SFTZ) in 2014.

According to the company, this move would also allow it to be better positioned to participate in China’s proposed financial market deregulation and would additionally present more opportunities for trade and investment flows between China and Australia.

La Trobe Financial president and chief executive, Greg O’Neill, said: “This is right time to open an office in Hong Kong”.

“Mr Chan’s firsthand experience on the ground and network throughout Asia has played, and will continue to play a pivotal role to the organisation’s shape and future expansion into the Asian region.”
