In her address, Fan Xiaoyun introduced the background of the “One Bureau, One Province, One University” initiative by the Asset Management Association of China. She reviewed the collarborative efforts of the Nankai Finance team with Tianhong Fund during the first National Fund Knowledge Competition for College Students, where they navigated through multiple rounds of challenges and achieved outstanding results. Fan Xiaoyun expressed the hope that this event would serve as a catalyst for fostering deeper cooperation between the two parties under the guidance and support of the Tianjin Securities Regulatory Bureau. She underscored the constructive role of this collaboration in “promoting correct investment concepts, cultivating high-quality financial talent, and contributing to the high-quality development of the public fund industry and the capital market.”

Subsequently, Xiong Jun, from the dual perspectives of financial investors and investment managers, expounded on the framework of prudent financial management. He pointed out that investors need to balance their risk tolerance with their return objectives when selecting investment targets and also highlighted the considerations that investment managers need to address.

During the interactive Q&A session that ensued, Xiong Jun patiently and meticulously answered the questions posed by the students. Through this lecture, the students gained a more systematic understanding of the framework of prudent financial management, deepened their knowledge of the industry, and clarified their future development direction.窗体顶端
