Discussing Cross-Border Investment and Market Connectivity
Steven Chou, Chairman of Sahm Financial Limited, joined a panel discussion titled “From ETFs to Dual Listings: Redefining Access, Liquidity, and Market Integration,” which explored the development of cross-border investment and greater connectivity between regional and international markets.
Steven Chou said: “As investors are increasingly demanding a wider product suite as well as broader trading venue coverage across global capital markets, ETFs and dual listings can help facilitate cross-border access, while continued collaboration across markets will be important to building a more connected regional investment ecosystem.”
The discussion highlighted the growing role of ETFs and dual listings in connecting investors with markets across jurisdictions, as well as the importance of market infrastructure, regulatory development and evolving investor demand in supporting greater cross-border market access.

Alongside its participation in the conference discussions, Sahm Financial Limited hosted a booth, where it met representatives of exchanges, financial institutions and other capital market participants.
