We’re delighted to share some key moments from our recent Family Office Symposium (FOS), organized alongside Hong Kong Trade Development Council.
Themed “Thriving in Asia – Why Hong Kong is the Ideal Family Office Destination,” the invitation only FOS event attracted over 130 attendees, bringing together industry leaders, family office professionals, and other key stakeholders to discuss Hong Kong’s competitive advantages as a prime location for family offices, as well as investment opportunities in innovative areas such as digital assets, sports technology, climate, energy and social impact for next-generation leaders.
The event began with opening remarks from PWMA CEO, Vivien Khoo, followed by a keynote speech from Anson Chan, Chairman & CEO of Bonds Group of Companies.
Our first panel, moderated by Jason Fong from FamilyOfficeHK, featured insights from Kevin Qin of RH Capital, Kris Liu from Reynold Lemkins, and David Knight Legg from Element Wealth Advisors. The speakers shared their personal journeys of establishing businesses in Hong Kong, which led to an insightful discussion on the factors that attract family offices to the city, highlighting lifestyle, location, access, ease of doing business, depth of services, convenience, sound regulatory framework, breadth of opportunities, place to innovate, efficiency and dynamic vibe.
This was followed by our second panel, moderated by Chi-man Kwan from Raffles Family Office and Chair of Family Office Association Hong Kong, where Evan Auyang from Animoca Brands, Mike Yang from AquaBloom International Sports Technology Group, and Doris Pan from Full Vision Capital explored innovative investment areas that align with the interests and values of the next generation of Family Office Leaders, including Web3, ClimateTech, SportTech, impact investing, GameTech, and Blockchain.
A heartfelt thank you to all our speakers and their supporting teams, along with Hong Kong Trade Development Council, Family Office Association Hong Kong, FamilyOfficeHK, and of course our valued guests for making this event a resounding success. Your participation, energy, engagement and insights contributed to an enriching experience for all attendees!
Stay tuned for more events and initiatives as we continue to enhance the family office ecosystem and Hong Kong’s position as the premier location for family offices and private wealth management!
