Navigate Global Shifts, Discover Investment Opportunities: 2026 Vancouver International Financial Summit Invites You

As the trade environment shifts and industrial competition evolves, should approaches to investment and asset allocation also adjust?

Addressing these investor-relevant issues, the 2026 Vancouver International Financial Summit and 6th Fudan Forum will be held on Saturday, October 10, from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel. This summit is jointly hosted by FX168 Financial Group, Fudan University Vancouver Alumni Association, Fudan University School of Economics Vancouver Liaison Office, and the Canada Chinatown Association. Themed "Integrating China-Canada Wisdom · Winning Investment Futures," the summit brings together economists, financial investment experts, business representatives, and investors to explore choices and opportunities amid change, from the global economy and intelligent technology to digital assets and investment financing practices.

Changes in Trade and Interest Rate Environment: How to Position Investment Next?

This year, China-Canada economic cooperation has seen concrete progress. Starting in March, both sides implemented new arrangements in areas such as agricultural produce and electric vehicle market access, providing new conditions for related enterprises to conduct cross-border business.

Macroeconomic and monetary policies also influence the market. On September 16, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the federal funds rate target range to 3.75%—4.00%, emphasizing that inflation remains elevated. The Bank of Canada maintained its policy rate at 2.25% on September 2, noting that economic recovery is expanding, but new tariffs have increased uncertainty in growth prospects, with upside risks to inflation also rising.

Facing these changes, investors need to consider not only "where is the next hotspot" but also more specific questions: How to understand economic cycles in different markets? What industrial changes will intelligent technology bring? How to recognize the development and risks of digital assets? How should businesses and families balance growth needs, financing costs, and cash flow?

This summit will connect macro analysis with practical investment needs around these issues, providing attendees with opportunities to observe markets, compare perspectives, and exchange cooperation.

Worth noting, this summit will also feature two distinguished guests for opening remarks. Consul General Fu Fengshan of China in Vancouver and Canadian Member of Parliament Chak Au will attend and deliver speeches, opening the summit from different perspectives on China-Canada exchanges and local development. As China-Canada economic and trade exchanges continue to advance and the global trade and investment environment accelerates its changes, the presence of these two guests will further enrich the summit's discussions on China-Canada exchanges, economic and trade cooperation, and future development.

Distinguished Speakers Gather, from Industrial Transformation to Investment Practices

This summit will bring together economists, financial experts, and investment professionals to share insights on macroeconomic trends, global capital flows, AI technology applications, digital assets, and prudent investment, combining academic research with market practices to provide diverse perspectives for attendees to understand economic changes and grasp investment directions.

Qi Feng, Partner at FX168 Family Office, will present "Moderate Defense, Sustainable Growth — Prudent Investment and Financing Strategies in an Economic Downturn," exploring how to balance risk control, cash flow arrangements, and growth needs from an investment and financing practice perspective, bringing macro discussions closer to the practical concerns of businesses and families.

Roundtable Focuses on Growth Opportunities, Connecting Macro Judgment with Market Practices

In the roundtable discussion "Changing Times: How Global Capital Seeks New Growth Opportunities," Wang Tiefeng, Yu Tong, 江泰, and Chen Wei, US Stock Analyst at FX168, will exchange views on stage, further exploring new global capital growth opportunities from different perspectives including economic and industrial changes, capital allocation, and US stock market observations.

How do macro trends connect with specific investments? How do industrial changes affect market judgment? When facing different viewpoints, how should investors understand their foundations and risks? The roundtable dialogue will connect the core topics of the day, allowing attendees to broaden their perspectives through exchange and form their own judgments through comparison.

The summit also includes networking and business matching sessions, providing face-to-face communication opportunities for investors, entrepreneurs, financial professionals, and institutional representatives. Beyond listening to guest perspectives, attendees can continue discussions on specific business, project needs, and cooperation directions, extending on-site intellectual exchange into a starting point for further communication.

Bring Your Concerns to the Venue, Reserve the Networking Opportunity for Yourself

For investors focused on the China-US-Canada market, understanding global economic changes, recognizing emerging industries, and finding allocation approaches suitable for their own needs all deserve in-depth discussion. For entrepreneurs and professional institutions, the value of a summit also lies in connecting with partners from different fields and discovering potential business intersections.
