HKIRA - Hong Kong Investor Relations Association

17/09/2026

HKIRA warmly welcomes CE’s 2026 Policy Address and the Five-Year Plan (2026–2030).

We fully support the ambitious blueprint — deepening mutual market access, attracting leading enterprises from Southeast Asia and along the "Belt and Road" to list in Hong Kong, and tapping long-term capital from the Middle East and ASEAN.

Dr. Eva Chan, Founding Chairman of HKIRA, said: "Good investor relations are the key bridge connecting listed companies with global capital. In the face of an increasingly diversified investor base, high-quality information disclosure and market communication will be the core key to implementing the Policy Address's 'enhancing market liquidity' and attracting long-term capital to Hong Kong."

To support implementation, HKIRA will launch three core initiatives:
1️⃣ Cross-Border IR Talent Training
2️⃣ Promoting ESG and Digital Asset Disclosure Standards
3️⃣ Fostering Industry Dialogue

HKIRA will continue to work hand in hand with listed companies, investors, and regulators to jointly uphold Hong Kong's status as an international financial centre.

On 9 September 2026, HKIRA hosted a full-house IR Connect Happy Hour in Central. Over 40 participants — including CFOs, INEDs, regulators, and professional service providers—enjoyed an evening of high-level networking and best practice exchange.

The highlight of the evening was an insightful sharing by Mr. Samuel Chan, CFO of FSE Lifestyle Services Limited. Drawing on his duo recognition at the HKIRA 12th Investor Relations Awards 2026 (Overall Best IR Company Award (Small Cap) and Best IR by CFO (Samll Cap)), Samuel emphasised a three-pillared approach to award-winning IR, which resonated strongly with attendees:

1. Maintaining transparency with the investment community,

2. Ensuring consistency in corporate messaging, and

3. Providing appropriate guidance to enhance business visibility and build long-term investor confidence.

Special thanks to Mr. Samuel Chan for his generous sharing, and to Hong Kong Ferry (Holdings) Company Limited for sponsoring health and wellness vouchers for our guests.
