iFAST Hong Kong partners J P Morgan on discretionary portfolios

iFAST Financial (HK) Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of iFAST Corporation Ltd, has announced the introduction of two new discretionary portfolio management solutions (DPMS) in Hong Kong, in partnership with J.P. Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM). These portfolios, officially available to wealth advisers and their clients from August 2026, are designed to enhance the adviser experience and broaden client choices.

According to Glory Lau, General Manager, Platform Services at iFAST Hong Kong, the collaboration with JPMAM allows iFAST Hong Kong to offer a professionally managed investment solution that saves advisers time and broadens their offerings. By outsourcing alpha generation, advisers can focus on building trusted client relationships and delivering comprehensive financial planning.

The DPMS portfolios leverage JPMAM's comprehensive range of active ETFs globally, providing investors access to active management at a lower cost. JPMAM's approach to active investing is based on extensive global research and a disciplined asset allocation process tested across market cycles. Yuejue Jin, Asia Head of Multi-Asset Solutions at JPMAM, stated that the partnership aims to make their leading actively managed ETF capabilities and portfolio solutions available to iFAST's Hong Kong clients.

The new DPMS portfolios offer wealth advisers greater choice and flexibility in aligning client portfolios with specific goals and risk profiles, while reducing the administrative workload typically consumed by advisers and clients.
