Selected moments from competitions, partnerships, and conversations that brought students closer to the realities of wealth and investment management.

Flagship programme

KKPS Wealth Management Hackathon 2026

6–7 June 2026 · KKP Tower · Bangkok

A two-day challenge built to move wealth management from theory into decisions.

Participants worked through client objectives, portfolio construction, risk, and implementation before presenting their recommendations to KKPS professionals. The programme has now concluded, but its most valuable outcome remains: a stronger bridge between ambitious students and the industry.
