On July 25,2025, the conference hall of Haikou Hai Rui Cultural Park was packed with attendees in a refreshing breeze. As the melody of "The March of the Volunteers" echoed through the venue, nearly 200 financial professionals and industry leaders stood in unison to mark the launch of the CWMC International Financial Talent Empowerment Program under the theme "Global Integration · Talent Convergence in Hainan". This event not only served as an industry milestone but also represented a significant collaboration between CWMC and the Hainan Free Trade Port in advancing their "Talent-Driven Development Strategy".
PART 01 Anchoring the opportunities of the free trade port: empowering talents to break a new financial situation
In December 2025, the Hainan Free Trade Port will officially become a customs-controlled zone, marking a historic milestone that presents unprecedented opportunities for global financial professionals. As Zhang Dalei, Chairman of CWMC Hainan Operations Center and Executive Vice President of Hainan Investment Chamber of Commerce, emphasized in his opening remarks: "The openness of the Free Trade Port isn't the end of policy dividends, but the beginning of talent value. By launching our International Financial Talent Empowerment Program at this juncture, CWMC aims to transform Hainan into both a training ground and a dream-fulfilling hub for global financial elites."
During the event, Song Bingxuan, Vice President of Operations at Fung ye International (China), delivered a keynote speech titled "Free Trade Port Development Policies and Opportunities: Breaking Through and Restructuring". He provided an in-depth analysis of policy breakthroughs in Hainan's cross-border capital flows, asset allocation, and family trust systems before and after the customs closure. He particularly emphasized: "Hainan needs not only financial experts but also versatile talents who' understand international regulations + local practices + technical tools '—— This is precisely the core focus of CWMC's Empowerment Initiative."

PART 02 Three core highlights: decoding the "hard core strength" of CWMC talent cultivation
1、AI+ wealth management
"Reimagining the Competency Framework for Financial Professionals: In the future financial landscape, AI-savvy professionals will outperform non-AI practitioners, while AI-empowered enterprises will lead industry trends." During his presentation, Zou Jintiao, head of Jiuyun Institution at CWMC (Hainan) Operations Center, visually demonstrated technology's transformative impact on the financial sector through comparative data between AI-driven trading systems and traditional methods.
Professor Patrick Khor, a global AI network expert at the United Nations and former entrepreneurship professor at the National University of Singapore, further pointed out in a video speech: "AI is not to replace financial people, but to make professionals more professional."
CWMC International Financial Talent Empowerment Program has included "AI application technology" into the core curriculum system, from intelligent investment and consulting model building to big data risk control, comprehensively improving students' technical adaptability.
2、Tens of millions of dollars in tuition subsidies
To retain global elites with sincerity, we will promote the "introduction, retention and good use" of talents
CWMC (Hainan) Operations Center has announced an annual subsidy program covering eight months of tuition fees, spanning the entire learning cycle from CWMC certification training to international master's programs. This initiative enables eligible students to enroll in the "AI Application + Global Wealth Management + International MBA Entrepreneurship" program at a reduced cost, effectively achieving "zero-threshold advancement".
As Dr. Benson So emphasized in his keynote speech, "The competition in Hainan is ultimately a competition for talents. CWMC is willing to be a 'roadstone' to enable more people to not only 'come in' to learn, but also 'stay' to develop"
3、Pyramid model
During the event, Dr. Benson So officially unveiled the "pyramid-shaped talent training system" created by Boyan International, which clearly outlined the growth path for financial practitioners from "professional" to "international elite":
Basement: CWMC Certified Wealth Management Consultant
With "personal quality + integrity + international vision" as the core, the registration number is awarded through strict examination (academic background, experience, professional qualifications, etc.), and it is included in the official inquiry system, becoming the "hard currency" of industry access.
Upward class: China's higher education research class
In cooperation with Chinese universities, we will set up an "Advanced Training Course on Family Enterprise Inheritance and Global Asset Management", focusing on high-end fields such as family office operation and cross-border asset allocation. Professors from famous universities and industry leaders will teach jointly, and graduates will be awarded continuing education certificates from the universities.
Top level: International master's programmes
The world's first master's program of "AI Artificial Intelligence Application + Global Wealth Management + International MBA Entrepreneurship" will enable students to obtain the Master's degree of IEU Global (Indonesia European University) and the senior certification of CWMC at the same time, so as to become top talents with "multi-country vision (China, Southeast Asia and the world)".
PART 03 Sign the M100 plan: cultivate 100 international master students within this year to build dreams in Hainan
M100 Signing Ceremony
At the highlight of the event, Mr.Zhang Dalei, President of Fungye International, and Dr. Benson So from Boyan International jointly signed the "M100 International Financial Talent Development Initiative Agreement". Under the plan, CWMC (Hainan) Operations Center will focus on cultivating 100 international master's graduates meeting the "AI + Wealth Management + MBA Entrepreneurship" criteria within the next year, injecting fresh talent into Hainan Free Trade Port.
"Opportunities are reserved for the prepared," Dr. Benson So stated at the signing ceremony. CWMC not only offers courses and certifications but also connects premium resources across Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, empowering students to enter "high-end client circles + global networks". Multiple participants remarked: "This empowerment isn't empty promises—it's tangible growth —— From certification to advanced studies and master's programs, every step offers clear pathways and support."
Epilogue：
Building a Financial Hub for the Free Trade Port with Talent as the Foundation. The event concluded with a group photo of all attendees, yet the collaboration between CWMC and Hainan is just beginning. From policy interpretation to technological empowerment, from financial support to resource integration, the CWMC International Financial Talent Empowerment Program is injecting continuous "financial momentum" into the development of Hainan Free Trade Port through its pragmatic yet forward-looking approach.
As Chairman Zhang Dalei stated: "When 100 to 1,000 talents empowered by CWMC take root in Hainan, this region will undoubtedly become a new global hub for wealth management."
