Biography

Alice Han is one of the most cited voices on Chinese macro and US-China economic relations — a Rhodes Scholar who spent formative years inside HSBC and the Bank of England before joining Niall Ferguson's Greenmantle as Director of China research. For banking and asset management audiences, she takes dense policy shifts — Beijing's property deleveraging, capital controls, tech crackdowns, outbound-investment screening — and renders them as investable intelligence.

What separates Alice on stage is that she reads the primary sources. While most commentators cite second-hand summaries, she works through the actual State Council directives, PBOC policy reports, and Politburo readouts in Mandarin. Your portfolio managers and corporate treasurers will notice the difference within the first five minutes.

She has briefed global macro funds, sovereign wealth allocators, corporate boards, and US policymakers. Regular appearances on Bloomberg, CNBC, and the Financial Times have made her a trusted name in the buy-side community. Her talks are especially valuable for CIO offsites, private bank client events, and corporate leadership summits where the China question is on every agenda but where generic geopolitical talks miss the granular policy nuance.

Alice customises every keynote to the audience's exposure — whether you are a US regional bank assessing CFIUS risk, a European asset manager rethinking MSCI EM allocation, or a Hong Kong wealth desk recalibrating cross-border flows. Attendees walk away with frameworks they can brief upward the next morning.

Speech Topics

What Alice Han Speaks About

China 2026 — What Beijing Actually Wants
A primary-source read on Xi's current economic priorities: deleveraging property, re-financialising state banks, managing the yuan, and rerouting capital away from the US. What it means for your US-China portfolio and cross-border deal pipeline.
US-China Decoupling for Finance Executives
Past the headlines: a concrete framework for mapping your firm's China exposure across supply chain, counterparty risk, compliance regimes, and regulatory surface area. Includes scenario planning for Taiwan stress events.
Emerging Markets After the Dollar Peak
Why the 2020s EM playbook is different from the 2010s, where allocation opportunities are widening (India, Vietnam, Mexico), and how Chinese capital is reshaping flows across the Global South.
Geopolitics for Corporate Boards
A board-level briefing on the top geopolitical tail risks facing financial institutions — sanctions regimes, export controls, energy transition politics — delivered without jargon and with direct strategic implications.
Insights from Alice Han

"If you are relying on English-language commentary to understand Beijing's next move, you are roughly six months late. The primary sources are where the edge is."— Alice Han
"Decoupling is not a binary — it is a surface area. Map your exposure line by line and you will find both risks and opportunities most of your competitors have not priced in."— Alice Han
