Asia Region Funds Passport - Financial Services Council, CEO Sally Loane

Asia Region Funds Passport

The Asia Region Funds Passport (ARFP) is a new initiative aimed at reducing the barriers to cross-border financial transactions in the Asian region. In particular it will facilitate the cross-border marketing of managed funds in participating economies.

It was formalized on 11 September 2015, when Finance Ministers from Australia, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, the Philippines and Thailand signed a Statement of Understanding at the APEC Finance Ministers’ Meeting.

Australia has been active as a promoter of the Passport since 2010.

The Passport is anticipated to commence in late 2016.

Sally Loane, CEO of the Financial Services Council (FSC), will speak to us about the Passport. The FSC is the peak  industry body for the wealth management industry, with members including companies in funds management, superannuation, life insurance, financial advice businesses and trustee services, as well as companies providing services to the industry.
