China Southern Asset, one of the first fund management firms approved by CSRC, has always taken continuous learning as the primary component of its company DNA. HKUST business school is not only a treasure trove of knowledge, but also a place for lifelong learning. During our studies with HKUST EMBA program, we have improved our business management skills and enriched our professional knowledge as well as broadened our vision.
