Hong Kong is Getting a Head Start in Becoming World’s Top Family Office Hub

Hong Kong Academy for Wealth Legacy

• Newly formed academy sits under the Financial Services Development Council (FSDC), sweetens deal and further strengthens Hong Kong’s competitiveness as a leading global family office hub • One of Hong Kong Government’s top agendas to support next-generation wealth owners and private wealth management advisors on building legacy In its latest push to turn Hong Kong into a top destination for wealth family offices, supervised by the Hong Kong Government, FSDC has recently set up the Hong Kong Academy for Wealth Legacy (HKAWL), which will be steered by the city’s tycoons, to offer a full suite of programme tailored to the upper echelon. Already a popular family office hub due to its robust financial infrastructure, low taxation and free market economy, Hong Kong is eyeing the next wave of new family offices. Asia is projected to witness a doubling of assets under management (AUM) and a 60% increase in revenues by 2025 compared to 2021 levels, with Hong Kong being the prime destination for wealth management business. The family offices landscape has been developing rapidly in Asia in the last decade. Following the recent establishment of the HKAWL, which will double as an open platform for family offices, Hong Kong is further sweetening the deal for wealth owners worldwide. “As part of a family office that has been rooted in Hong Kong for more than 50 years, I am delighted to offer my support and insights to the HKAWL. Our goal is to educate the next generation of family business leaders, equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively manage their family offices and build upon the legacy we have established.＂said Adrian Cheng, Chairman of HKAWL and internationally renowned business leader. Led by industry experts and tycoons such as Cheng, who is also the CEO of Hong Kong conglomerate New World Development and the Founding Chairman of HKAWL, HKAWL serves as a significant step towards attracting global family offices to Hong Kong. It aims to offer comprehensive support, insights and knowledge exchange on wealth management to both draw global family offices and wealth managers to Hong Kong. Hong Kong currently boasts a massive asset and wealth management industry that is worth US$3.9 trillion. In 2022, family offices and private trusts contributed 17% of the private banking and private wealth management business in Hong Kong, roughly HK$1,520 billion, or US$195 billion. The city is also projected to be the largest booking centre by 2025. Hong Kong’s four Key Advantages as the Premier Family Office Hub At the recent launch of the HKAWL, Cheng shared his views on the timely launch of the Academy and the major draws of Hong Kong as a premier family office hub. He said that Hong Kong offers four key comparative advantages over its peers for family offices. These include its status as the dominant gateway to the massive Mainland market and the global hub for offshore renminbi business. Hong Kong also provides a supportive regulatory environment underpinned by a well-established legal system with a favorable tax regime. As an international financial centre, it is home to the world’s leading banks, and a large asset management market with diverse investment products. Additionally, the city is establishing itself as a hub for emerging financial trends that cater to the diversified needs of family offices, such as green and sustainable finance and the art and collectibles market. Key Pillars of HKAWL Going Forward Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, also shared the roadmap of HKAWL at its launch event, emphasising the importance of offering innovative events and investment opportunities that speak to next-generation wealth owners. They include: Flagship Summit: Hong Kong will host the second “Wealth for Good in Hong Kong Summit” themed “Growing with Certainty Amid Growing Uncertainty” in late March next year. It will be a flagship summit organised by the Hong Kong Government to engage and collaborate with the decision makers and professional teams of family offices around the globe, showcasing Hong Kong’s unique opportunities. Introducing a new Capital Investment Entrant Scheme: Hong Kong will implement a new Capital Investment Entrant Scheme to allow eligible investors who make investments of HK$30 million or above in assets such as stocks, funds, bonds, etc. (excluding real estate) to apply for entry into Hong Kong. Philanthropic and Impact Investing: HKAWL will help nurture and foster strategic philanthropic initiatives and impactful giving, and promote investments with social and environmental benefits. Art storage facilities: new art storage facilities will be built at the Hong Kong International Airport for collectors and investors, including family offices that deploy their wealth in art. It will leverage Hong Kong’s position as the largest art market and auction centre in Asia, further promoting Hong Kong as a premier destination for art enthusiasts and family offices to explore the inclusion of art in investment portfolios. Echoing the key pillars outlined in Hui’s roadmap, Cheng said it is important to acknowledge that multiple factors are currently reshaping the needs of family offices worldwide. “The emergence of Gen Z, for one, and the growing presence of female leadership, both of which are driving changes in the landscape of family offices. Additionally, approximately 1,400 unicorn companies, representing a combined value of over US$5 trillion, were founded by millennials, it becomes essential to adapt and cater to the evolving ambitions of this new generation of wealth owners." On his vision for the HKAWL, Cheng said: “It is fostering an inclusive and trusted, yet private environment for families to preserve their legacy across generations, thereby promoting the industry's sustainable growth. We therefore welcome new ideas from all stakeholders including notably other family offices.” The establishment of HKAWL is one of the eight initiatives of the Hong Kong Government that aims at developing a vibrant ecosystem for global family offices and asset owners. In addition to the tax exemption for family-owned investment holding vehicles managed by single family offices in Hong Kong, the Government and regulators have implemented a number of market-facilitating initiatives, including streamlining the suitability assessment for sophisticated professional investors, and the launch of a Network of Family Office Service Providers under Invest Hong Kong. HKAWL is joined by five of Asia's richest families, including Chairman Adrian Cheng from the Cheng Family, one of the most prominent families in Asia; board member Daryl Ng; and advisory board members Philip Lawrence Kadoorie, Adam Kwok, and Poman Lo, all from the top 50 of Asia's richest families. “Looking forward, Asia is the key battleground for wealth management firms. With Financial Services Development Council and HKAWL, we’ll be able comprehensively strengthen our propositions to help families manage their wealth legacies.” Cheng added.

Novidea launches insurance management platform in SE Asia to meet escalating demand for digital transformation

Novidea

Novidea, creator of the cloud-based, data-driven enterprise insurance management platform for brokers, agents, MGAs/MGUs, and carriers, today announces its launch into the Southeast Asian market, starting in Hong Kong and Singapore. This geographical expansion supports Novidea’s strategy to become the leading provider of core platforms for insurance organisations, worldwide. According to analytics specialist GlobalData, Singapore’s general insurance industry is set to grow by 7.2% by 2026, fuelled by private health and major infrastructure projects. The firm forecasts that the industry in the region will grow from US$3.5bn in 2021 to US$5.1bn in 2026. “At Novidea, we are seeing an urgent demand from global brokers in Southeast Asia for a single integrated, global, cloud-based insurance management platform,” said Roi Agababa, CEO, Novidea. “Southeast Asia is embracing digital transformation in terms of insurance technology, and many businesses are seeking specialist digitalisation solutions to remain competitive and profitable.” Findings from a global survey commissioned by Novidea this quarter demonstrate that Singapore insurance organisations experience challenges with their existing technology, the most prevalent being the cost of upgrades, data silos, and high implementation and maintenance costs. Ben Potts, UK and International MD, Novidea, who is leading the charge in Southeast Asia, said: “There are many technology suppliers in the SE Asia region, however there are very few global insurance management platforms that support businesses across borders, while covering the entire customer journey, end-to-end and offering an integrated front-, middle-, and back-office in a single platform.” “Whilst the initial demand for Novidea’s platform came from global brokers who need a more efficient way to integrate their operations, both worldwide and between markets, we also support regional brokers and larger MGAs looking to accelerate their growth.” The insurance market in Southeast Asia is vast, yet characterised by fragmentation and complexity. Global brokers and carriers require access to new age cloud-based systems with a global first approach supporting multi language, currency, compliance and workflows within the region. This underscores a significant opportunity for global brokers and carriers to elevate their technological capabilities, leveraging the advantages offered by Novidea's insurance management platform. On December 6-7 th, Novidea will be exhibiting at the Insurtech Insights Asia conference (booth A17) and participating in a panel session ‘Transformation Demystified – Driving Digitalisation’ on December 6th. About Novidea Novidea is the leading Insurtech provider of a cloud-native, data-driven insurance management system. With its open API architecture, Novidea enables brokers, agents, MGAs, and carriers to modernize and manage the customer journey end-to-end and drive growth across the entire insurance distribution lifecycle. Novidea's streamlined and automated platform fully integrates front, middle, and back offices. The Novidea platform boosts operational efficiency while providing a seamless digital experience for team members and customers alike. Insurance businesses benefit from a 360-degree view of customers and policies and can access data and actionable insights anytime, anywhere, and on any device.

SWEP Celebrates 30 Years of Commitment to Promote Environmental Stewardship

Prodigy Press Wire

Forest Health Field Day. The students were planting blister rust-resistant Sugar Pine saplings. Sierra Watershed Education Partnerships (SWEP) celebrates a remarkable 30-year milestone this year, marking three decades of commitment to promoting stewardship by connecting students to sustainability, and environmental conservation. SWEP's journey began in 1994 when a group of parents and teachers founded the organization. Although they officially gained nonprofit status in 1997, the organization's roots were firmly planted in connecting local students to their natural surroundings. Over the years, SWEP has evolved, receiving grants, collaborating with partners, and expanding its reach to promote stewardship and service learning. Missy Mohler, SWEP Executive Director Executive Director Missy Mohler reflects on SWEP's early struggles, highlighting the challenges of obtaining nonprofit status. “Despite these hurdles, SWEP has emerged resilient, and we are dedicated to fostering hope and empowering students to take action for the environment.” Missy Mohler's words resonate as a testament to SWEP's perseverance. A significant focus for SWEP lies in addressing pressing environmental issues, from wildfires to waste management. The organization empowers students by engaging them in hands-on projects, like defensible space initiatives. Through these experiences, students learn the importance of their contributions and gain practical knowledge about environmental challenges. Waste management and sustainability are at the core of SWEP's initiatives. By running sustainability clubs and conducting food waste audits, SWEP actively involves students in solutions to combat issues like plastic pollution and methane emissions. The organization's commitment to waste diversion is evident in its success, having diverted 13,000 pounds of food waste last school year. Environmental conservation takes center stage as SWEP's High School clubs travel to various schools and communities, emphasizing the significance of reusable items and advocating against single-use plastics. Their impact extends beyond education, influencing local policies such as the ban on single-use plastics, and showcasing the tangible outcomes of their efforts. The organization's partnerships with schools in the Tahoe Truckee region underscore its commitment to diversity, recognizing it as a key asset for success. Despite past challenges, SWEP has navigated budget closures and grant freezes, securing support through grants, sponsorships, community partners, and generous donations. SWEP calls for funding to support its mission of connecting students to the environment and contributing to the natural world. Over 10,000 student connections in the past five years speak to the organization's reach. The strategic plan outlines ambitious goals, emphasizing equitable programming, outdoor education, and cultural connections with the Washoe indigenous tribe. SWEP remains steadfast in its belief that exposing students to nature will shape a positive future.
