On April 21, China Foreign Economy and Trade Trust Co., Ltd. (FOTIC), together with Lion Fund Management Co., Ltd. (Lion Fund) and Caijing Magazine, held the "Time, Opportunity and Direction -- 2018 Investment Strategy Conference" in Legendale Hotel Beijing, where well-known domestic economists and representatives from various financial sectors were invited to share valuable investment information with more than 300 representatives of investors attending the meeting, and to discuss the time, opportunities and direction of investment.

At the beginning of the event, Ms. Wei Mengmeng, FOTIC General Manager Assistant and General Manager of the Wealth Management Center, delivered a welcoming speech. She said, in the past year of 2017, the global economy had been complicated. The 19th CPC National Congress was held smoothly, further clarifying the future direction of China's economic development. Entering 2018, under the influence of global trade protectionism and so on, the international market has been increasingly volatile. Chinese economy has turned to high-quality development with still existing uncertainties. How the future development and trend of economic policy will impact on the asset allocation and wealth management is a topic of general concerns for investors currently.

During the keynote speech session, Mr. Cao Yuanzheng, Chairman of BOCI Research Limited, and experts in the field of capital management, talked about the present and future economic fundamentals and market trends, with their study and judgments of Chinese economic reform and development trend, and shared their thinking on how the capital management organizations can address the current challenges and adopt innovative development, around the topics such as "Impacts of Macroeconomic Trend and Policies on Investment", "Challenges and Opportunities Brought by New Regulations on Capital Management", etc.

Along with the upcoming successive reforms of financial regulatory institutions and new regulations on capital management, in 2018, the capital management industry has entered a "New Era", further transferring from the "pan-capital management era" to a "new financial cycle", and begun to establish a new pattern of the industry, when the banks, trusts, securities, funds, futures, insurance and other types of capital management institutions are experiencing deep reforms. In the ecological "remolding" of the capital management industry, profound changes will take place in market demands, business logics, and so on. As an important part of the capital management industry, the trust industry in China has made great progress in the past decade, with growing impacts on the national economy, the people's livelihood and the financial market, but also faced with a more complex environment. Standing in the new period of the financial development, FOTIC will focus on the four major themes of "Industrial Optimization, Consumption Upgrading, Capital Market, and Wealth Blue Ocean" under the path of "strictly controlling the risks, returning to the source, transforming and upgrading", to embrace reforms and return to the source.

At the end of this investment strategy conference, representatives from the banking, trust, private placement, insurance, foundations and other capital management industries gathered at the round-table forum in the "Five-Element Guest Room" to discuss the way for successful development as well as the new trend of asset allocation at present and in the future, around recent economic policy trends and financial regulation. Ms. Wei Mengmeng, FOTIC General Manager Assistant and General Manager of the Wealth Management Center, and Mr. Cao Yuan, Deputy General Manager of Lion Fund, participated in the discussion and shared their brilliant views.
