MaGESpire & Tanner De Witt present: Into the Dragon's Lair - Hong Kong as a Hub for Family and Private Wealth

The environment for family offices and private wealth managers requires some key features. Access to investment opportunities. Flexible structures. Clear regulation. Tax efficiency. Stable legal and political environment. Access to key advisers. Hong Kong has long been a top choice for wealth planning.

The past ten years has seen significant growth in the number of high net worth individuals in Asia-Pacific, with the financial wealth of HNWIs in Asia Pacific increasing from USD10.8 trillion to USD20.6 trillion in that period. There has been significant change in Hong Kong in that period too. This session will explore Hong Kong’s position in the private wealth management world, and whether the Hong Kong dragon can still protect the treasure in its lair.

We will address:
• Key decision drivers on where to establish and maintain a family office;
• Investment trends in family office investment;
• The challenges and opportunities to Hong Kong and its place as an Asia Pacific family office hub;
• The tax, legal and regulatory points to consider in operating a family office in Hong Kong;
• The future for family offices in Hong Kong
