Xu Zhengyu: Global Uncertainty Makes “Wealth for Good in Hong Kong” Timely

Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Xu Zhengyu, stated that with accelerating global changes and increasing geopolitical complexity, holding the “Wealth for Good in Hong Kong” summit at this time is very appropriate. It provides a platform for family offices seeking diversified asset allocation and risk mitigation to exchange ideas and explore opportunities. Hong Kong’s international financial market is both deep and broad, supported by a stable and transparent legal and tax system, world-class financial and professional services, and a comprehensive ecosystem of philanthropy, arts, and innovation. For family offices, this environment offers the best combination of growth potential and stability.

He added that the Hong Kong government will continue to strengthen the city’s position as a leading family wealth hub in Asia-Pacific, implementing multi-pronged measures to promote industry development. These include tax incentives, talent attraction, investment facilitation, and ecosystem building, all aimed at enhancing Hong Kong’s appeal to global family capital and making it the preferred platform for ultra-high-net-worth families managing cross-border wealth.

Multiple Financial Events in the Same Week

Apart from the “Wealth for Good in Hong Kong” summit, Milken Institute and Bloomberg will hold the Global Investment Summit (March 23) and Family Office Summit (March 25) respectively, focusing on wealth management and global investment trends. The synergy generated by these three forums will showcase Hong Kong’s unique appeal in the family office industry to international capital, allowing participants to interact and explore opportunities in Hong Kong.
