A thriving legacy carried through the family, and wisdom opening a new chapter—amid turbulent times, a new proposition for the inheritance of wealth

Ask AI · How family trusts can become a wealth firewall in turbulent times?

On March 27, 2026, the “Junyae Passing Down: The New Journey of Family Wealth in 2026” and the second private partner event for professional institutions, jointly hosted by OnePlus Holdings and JLT TRUST, successfully concluded in Hong Kong, China.

Over the past few decades, the core question for high-net-worth families worldwide has been “How to earn more money.” But today, this question is quietly changing.

Various signals indicate that we are in an era of increasing uncertainty and turbulence. At the same time, Chinese families and businesses are beginning to gradually transition from one generation to the next, from China to the world.

Against this backdrop, the focus of high-net-worth families is undergoing a profound shift: from “How to create more wealth” to “How to protect existing wealth and smoothly achieve intergenerational inheritance.” Family trusts, global protection, identity planning, tax compliance, and other tools are no longer optional but have become the “firewall” and “safety net” for family wealth.

At the private event, Oscar, founder of JLT TRUST, believed that there are three major changes in the current global landscape and market environment: First, the restructuring of the global pattern, with increased geopolitical and economic uncertainties; second, stricter global regulation, with financial and tax transparency becoming an irreversible trend; third, accelerated technological revolution, with artificial intelligence reshaping the wealth ecosystem and inheritance models.

Therefore, Oscar believes that the wealth logic in turbulent times has shifted from “pursuing high returns” to “ensuring certainty,” where “safety” is more important than “appreciation,” and “planning” is more critical than “choice.” He stated that Chinese entrepreneurs’ wealth protection no longer relies on “experience” and “luck” but must shift from passive response to proactive construction of protective systems. Building a four-dimensional wealth protection system based on “structure first, compliance as foundation, technological empowerment, and risk hedging.”

Regarding wealth transfer, Oscar believes that legal structures are the body of wealth, and values are its soul. Without a soul, huge wealth often becomes the source of disaster for the next generation. Therefore, in short-term wealth transfer, focus on assets; mid-term, focus on structures; long-term, focus on people. Only by enabling the next generation to have the ability to create wealth can the family business truly thrive for generations.

Meanwhile, in response to increasing demand, Oscar believes that there are very few comprehensive service providers who are both professional, down-to-earth, and practically experienced. This is also the original intention behind him and his partners founding JLT TRUST and OnePlus Holdings.
