The 6th AFSF Knowledge Sharing Workshop

“AFSF Reboot: Time to Recalibrate”

For many years, the global pandemic has slowed down and even obscured our dialogue on the Pan-Asian harmonization in the post-trade world. Returning as the first in-person event in four years, the 6th AFSF Knowledge Sharing Workshop will rev up the engine of the forum and spark discussions under the theme of "AFSF Reboot: Time to Recalibrate". The workshop will offer ample opportunities to revisit the beginning and past journey of the forum and adjust our strategic directions for the future.

Investor Services Task Force (ISTF)

“Sustainability - What CSDs Can Do to Facilitate a Better Fund Environment for Investors”

Sustainability has become the mainstream around the world. As a vital market infrastructure, CSDs play a pivotal role in cultivating a sustainable fund environment for investors, whether through direct services for investors (e.g. fund holding/ fund market information disclosure) or through indirect services that will be beneficial to investors (e.g. financial inclusion or fund supervisory). In the ISTF Workshop, we will explore the actions CSDs can take in the fund ecosystem to establish a more sustainable environment for investors.
