The Department of Finance at National Chengchi University cooperates with KGI to offer modern financial practice courses

[Reporter Yang Mianjie/Report from Taipei] Complete learning by combining theory with actual practice in the industry! The Jin Ying Lecture of the Department of Finance at National Chengchi University and KGI Investments launched the "Modern Financial Practice: Practices and Challenges of Asset Management" course. They jointly planned 8 lectures and final results presentation, and were lectured by senior executives in the industry. Through practical experience, game competitions, etc., students who are interested in joining related industries can further understand the value and possibility of asset management, and it can also be used as a reference for future careers.

This is the second time Jinying Lecture has cooperated with KGI. The content of the course has been adjusted based on feedback from the previous students to respond to the industrial practices that students most want to know about. From "seeing the industry, entering the profession, understanding customers and careers" to "proposing answers", students are led to gradually understand the asset management industry, build professional capabilities, and finally integrate what they have learned to propose feasible solutions.

Professor Jiang Yongyu of the Department of Finance at National Chengchi University believes that it is a rare opportunity to gain early exposure to front-line practical experience on campus. Another highlight of this course is to witness students entering the industry from the classroom. Last year, one course student joined the KGI Research Team after graduation. This year, he returned to the class as a "senior student" to share his journey into the front line of asset management and provide real career reference for younger students.

Ding Shaozeng, an alumnus of National Chengchi University and chairman of KGI Investments, also personally returned to school to lead fellow students to understand the overall picture of the asset management industry and the importance of retirement financial management. He pointed out that as ETFs and regular fixed-amount investments gradually become more popular, the younger generation has become an important force in promoting the growth of domestic funds. Students are expected to understand the problems that the asset management industry needs to solve before learning investment tools, and then explore their future professional aspirations and career direction.

Zhang Ci'en, general manager of KGI Investment Bank, explained that this year's curriculum planning was based on the feedback from the "senior sisters" who took the course last year. "What the students want to learn is more important than what we want to teach." This year's course starts from DiSC self-exploration, covering ETF development, product design and investment management, and also incorporates trends in family offices and high-net-worth clients to help students understand the investment profession and client needs, and further see the diverse aspects of asset management work.

Ouyang Weitang, Chief Investment Officer of KGI Investments, who will teach two classes, said that he will lead students to understand how an ETF is born and how to combine quantitative and fundamental analysis to form investment judgments. The course also arranges an investment simulation competition and World Café, allowing students to enter KGI Investments, talk with department heads and young colleagues, and learn about real work content, ability requirements and career options through the guidance of senior sisters, and how to start preparing now.
