<\/p>\nAccording to a report released on the 10th by the Finance College, which was co-founded by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Insurance and Credit Commission, Hong Kong is widely regarded as an important investment destination for family offices (family offices), with up to 91% of respondents saying they have invested in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hong Kong Newswire reported on the 11th that this applied financial research report titled \u201cBeyond Wealth: Promoting the Development of the Hong Kong Family Office Ecosphere Through Philanthropy, Influence Investment and Risk Management\u201d was based on interviews with 101 surveyed institutions and 35 industry figures, including single-family, ultra-high-net worth individuals, joint-family, financial institutions, scholars and professors, etc. Of these, 81% of the respondents managed net assets of $50 million or more, and 44% of the portfolios exceeded $1 billion. The report showed that the vast majority of the respondents voted with confidence for Hong Kong, with up to 91% of the respondents saying they have invested in the Hong Kong market.<\/p>\n
The report noted that the home office will deepen its philanthropy and influence investment layout in the coming years. It expects that the proportion of respondents participating in philanthropy will increase from the current 45% to 64%, while the proportion participating in influence investment will increase from 30% to 43%.<\/p>\n
Previously, the \u201cHong Kong Family Office Market Study\u201d commissioned by the Hong Kong Investment Promotion Department (HKIA) by Deloitte showed that as of the end of 2025, the number of single family offices in Hong Kong had exceeded 3,380, representing an increase of about 680 over two years, representing an increase of more than 25%. The size of Hong Kong\u2018s asset management reached HK $35 trillion at the end of 2024, representing an annual growth of 13%, while net capital inflows surged by 81%.<\/p>\n
The Hong Kong Star Island Daily Network reported that one of the reasons why Hong Kong is so popular with home office is because it can supply competitive risk management products and services. The above report predicts that demand for purchasing risk management products and services in Hong Kong will increase daily, with the proportion of purchasing investment risk products rising from 54% to 78% in the next three years, and non-investment risk products (such as insurance product categories) rising from 43% to 61%.<\/p>\n
Feng Yinnuo, Executive President and Executive Director of the Research Center of the Financial Academy, said that the surveyed households have actively increased the deployment of risk management-related products and businesses in recent years, and demand will continue to expand in the coming years. Hong Kong has very well-developed professional services and product design that can help households manage risk.<\/p>\n
In order to consolidate Hong Kong\u2018s position as the leading home-building hub in Asia, the report makes several recommendations based on the survey results, such as consolidating and strengthening advantages, making good use of the Bay Area\u2018s cross-industry support ecosphere, strengthening consulting services capabilities, expanding the alternative asset ecosphere, strengthening the role of a wealth management center; promoting the development of the private social investment ecosphere, developing influential investment projects, and leading a new generation of mission-oriented wealth management, etc.<\/p>\n
Several international media have noted that as the Middle East war continues, several wealthy Asian families are reevaluating the risks of their investments in Dubai. Bloomberg quoted several private wealth consultants as saying that many clients are considering reducing their investments in Dubai. A head of a Hong Kong family office revealed that Asian investors who had previously traveled to the Middle East due to tax concessions and investment opportunities are turning to look the other way, and many may withdraw their funds back to Hong Kong or Singapore. Another head of a Hong Kong family office revealed that it had recently arranged for 15 clients to be evacuated by private plane from Oman to Hong Kong, at a cost of up to $300,000, but the clients \u201cdon\u2018t care about the price at all, they just want to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
Citibank recently released a report saying that geopolitical instability may prompt investors to reevaluate their asset allocation, driving potential capital rotation to places such as Singapore and Hong Kong, which may be able to absorb some Middle Eastern capital and talent. The report said that China\u2018s relatively cautious attitude towards Middle Eastern conflicts, coupled with Hong Kong\u2019s low tax rates, all give Hong Kong an advantage in absorbing capital and talent.<\/p>\n
Zhuang Tailiang, Permanent Director of the Liu Zode Institute for Global Economy and Finance at Hong Kong Chinese University, said that the risks brought by the war have caused some hedge funds to seek global allocation. He believes that Hong Kong will welcome some Middle East hedge funds, but the specific scale is temporarily difficult to determine.<\/p>\n
To further attract household offices, the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Xu Zhengyu, announced earlier this month that he would introduce a series of optimization measures, including expanding fund definitions and qualifying investment types, to attract more funds and household offices to settle in Hong Kong. He revealed that he plans to submit amendments to the Legislative Council in the first half of 2026. If approved, the relevant measures can take effect from the tax year 2025\/26.<\/p>\n
Hong Kong\u2018s Da Gongbao commented on 11 that 91% of the family offices surveyed had already invested in Hong Kong, \u201cthis is a vote of confidence in Hong Kong\u2018s future with real gold and silver.\u201d Hong Kong\u2018s strong magnetic attraction to global wealth is primarily due to security. Hong Kong has a well-established financial regulatory system, free capital flow, and a plentiful talent pool, allowing global ultra-high-net worth individuals to safely allocate their assets here.<\/p>\n
Secondly, there are many investment opportunities that can add value. As an international financial center, Hong Kong leads the world in capital market activity. Last year, the amount of IPO fundraising returned to number one in the world. Private equity, hedge funds, and alternative investment have flourished. It also has the unique advantage of \u201cbacking on the motherland and connecting to the world\u201d. Through interconnected mechanisms such as Hong Kong Connect, Bond Connect, and Cross-Border Finance Connect, domestic firms can easily allocate high-growth assets in the Mainland.<\/p>\n
At the same time, new-quality productivity is becoming an important engine for Hong Kong\u2018s high-quality development, bringing more high-growth investment space for home banking. \u201cThis is an advantage that other home banking centers focused on traditional banking industry cannot compare to, and it has also become Hong Kong\u2018s irreplaceable core competitiveness.\u201d During this year\u2018s two national meetings, the central said that the Hong Kong Support Policy will be launched one after another, opening up even more unlimited space for Hong Kong development.<\/p>\n
The article said that the growth of home-based businesses is rapid, and international institutions are all optimistic that Hong Kong will become the \u201cBig Brother\u201d of global wealth management in the future. This project alone can create huge wealth and a large number of high-value-added employment opportunities for Hong Kong every year, and benefit all classes of Hong Kong society. \u201cThis is a manifestation of the powerful vitality of \u2018one country, two systems\u2019 and further enhances Hong Kong society\u2018s confidence in future development.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
