On March 18, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government announced that the Peak Forum of "Wealth Horizons Hong Kong" will be held next Tuesday, March 24. This year marks the fourth edition of the forum, with the theme of "Building Legacy", showcasing the continuous growth of assets in family offices and the wave of wealth generation in recent years. This forum will also feature a special panel discussion on "Sports and Charity", exploring how the sports industry can be combined with philanthropy to create positive social value. The forum will host heavyweight figures such as Yao Ming, William Haineck, and Maximilian Kaufmann. It is reported that the forum will showcase Hong Kong's profound strength and development potential through three main themes: "Asset Management Excellence Achieves Family Wealth Inheritance", "Cultural Value Foundation Nurtures Vibrant Markets", and "Smart Technology Innovation Drives Capital Appreciation." Several heavyweight speakers will share their forward-looking insights on the future development of the family office ecosystem. In addition to the Peak Forum of "Wealth Horizons Hong Kong", Milken Institute and Bloomberg LP will also respectively host the Global Investment Summit on March 23 and the Family Office Summit on March 25 in the same week, focusing on wealth management and global investment trends. The synergistic effects of these three major forums will comprehensively showcase to international capital the unique charm of Hong Kong in the family office industry, allowing participants to interact and discuss opportunities in Hong Kong. Vincent Lo, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, stated, "With the rapid evolution of the global landscape and increasingly complex geopolitics, the timing of the 'Wealth Horizons Hong Kong' Peak Forum is opportune as it provides a platform for family offices seeking diversification and risk mitigation to exchange ideas and opportunities. Hong Kong's international financial market has both depth and breadth, coupled with a robust and transparent legal and tax system, world-class financial and professional services, as well as a vibrant philanthropic, artistic, and innovation ecosystem. This creates the ideal environment for family offices with growth potential and stability. The 'Wealth Horizons Hong Kong' Peak Forum is the flagship event where the government showcases Hong Kong's unique advantages to global wealth owners. We will continue to strengthen Hong Kong's leading position as the hub for Asia-Pacific family wealth and implement comprehensive measures to enhance Hong Kong's attractiveness to global family capital in areas such as tax incentives, talent attraction, investment facilitation, and ecological development, aiming to become the preferred platform for managing cross-border wealth for global ultra-high net worth families." Stephen Liu, Director-General of Investment Promotion of Hong Kong, commented, "According to the latest market research, by the end of 2025, the number of single-family offices in Hong Kong has exceeded 3,380, with a growth of over 25% in two years, demonstrating Hong Kong's attractiveness as a global family office hub. The 'Wealth Horizons Hong Kong' Peak Forum is an important platform for Hong Kong to connect with the global family office community and promote cross-border cooperation. Against the backdrop of global capital allocation shifting towards Asia and increasing trade protectionism and geopolitical uncertainties, Hong Kong will continue to leverage its advantages of 'backing on the motherland and connecting with the world' to provide a predictable one-stop location and operational environment for global family offices, assisting them in seizing growth opportunities in the mainland and Asia, and advancing long-term investment and generational wealth transfer through diversified asset allocation and professional risk management."
