Breakfast Event Recap: Asia Reawakens – Navigating Opportunity Amid Geopolitical Shifts

CFA Society Finland was pleased to host members, candidates, and guests at our recent breakfast event in Helsinki at Scandic Hotel Marski on 13th November 2025, featuring Madeleine Kuang, Portfolio Manager at Fidelity International.

Madeleine delivered a highly engaging presentation titled “Asia Reawakens: Navigating Opportunity Amid Geopolitical Shifts,” offering a comprehensive overview of the evolving market landscape across China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and the ASEAN region.

Her insights covered several key themes shaping investment opportunities in Asia, including:

• Current conditions in AI, technology, and real estate

• The growing global influence of Asian consumerism

• Geopolitical and policy developments impacting markets across the region

The session concluded with a lively Q&A, and we extend our thanks to all attendees for their thoughtful and insightful questions.

We also express our sincere appreciation to Madeleine Kuang for sharing her expertise, and to Kaisa Paatsola of Fidelity International for her support in organizing this event, as well as our board chair Tuomas Hillukkala, CFA for hosting the morning.

Thank you to everyone who joined us—we look forward to welcoming you to our upcoming events!
