Hong Kong, 20 September 2007: JF Asset Management (JFAM) today celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the opening of the JF Investment Centre, the first of its kind in Hong Kong. For the last two decades, the JF Investment Centre has played a leading role in Hong Kong’s mutual fund industry and remains committed to providing the very best investment services and products to its clients.
Speaking at JF Investment Centre’s anniversary celebrations today, Mr Leo Cheung, Head of Direct Sales and Investor Services said, “Today is a very memorable milestone. The JF Investment Centre has stood the test of time which reflects the trust and loyalty that we have earned from our investors. We are extremely grateful for their continued support and are committed to further building our relationship with them.”
JFAM - 20 Years of Innovation
Terry Pan, Head of Retail Business for JF Asset Management commented, “Since its establishment as Hong Kong’s first retail investment shop, the JF Investment Centre has introduced many innovative services to its clients. For example, it was first to launch innovative telecom services to enable investors to trade and access information by phone and fax, and the first to launch an on-line trading platform – JF Online in order to provide around-the-clock and comprehensive investment services. These and many other innovative ideas have shown our commitment to benefit Hong Kong’s investors.”
“In terms of investment products, JFAM has also launched a series of innovative products to meet the changing investment needs of clients” added Mr Pan. “These include the first retail hedge fund in Hong Kong, and the first authorised China A-share fund, both of which were well received and had to be closed to new subscriptions due to exceptionally strong demand from investors.”
The JF Investment Centre will continue to focus on helping its clients to achieve their long-term goals, and to provide them with the tools and services to do so. To that end, the JF Investment Centre has undergone extensive revamping this year. A “Premier Investment Centre” has been established to provide comprehensive investment services to the high-net-worth clients. “JF E-Centre” was also opened this year to facilitate the use of our easy online trading services at the Centre.
Looking forward, the JF Investment Centre will continue to offer its clients with an extensive range of products and services to suit all of their investment needs. With a strong commitment to Asia and a close relationship with the local community, JFAM looks forward to celebrating many more anniversaries with Hong Kong investors.
