Poised to make a difference

Chinese and international students of Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who come from diverse backgrounds, enjoy studying and socializing together. The major tasks include the addition of new areas for the China Pilot Free Trade Zone, launching a science and technology innovation board on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and an experimental registration-based system for initial public offerings. As such, the institute's professors, most of whom have rich experience in financial systems in the West, are well-positioned to share their past experiences and pass on their knowledge to the new batch of financial talent in China, according to Chang Chun, executive dean of SAIF at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. "As China's financial sector gradually reaches international standards and becomes more open to foreign financial, banking and insurance institutions, our professors will show their obvious edge for cultivating talent," Chang says. "We believe that our graduates will make greater contributions to China's fast-growing financial industry, especially when the country is still lacking in talent in new international financial products and the latest financial practices," Chang says.
