In February, Hong Kong chief executive John Lee visited the Middle East to strengthen ties, alongside a local banking delegation that included UBS APAC wealth co-head Amy Lo.
«From my trip to the Middle East in February, several investors that I met have shown interest in setting up their family offices here in Asia, particularly in Hong Kong, because they are drawn to the opportunities in the Greater Bay Area,» Lo said in an interview with «SCMP».According to Lo, she also met many UBS clients from the US, UK, Switzerland, Thailand, and mainland China who traveled to Hong Kong to attend the «Wealth for Good» summit.
The bank’s outreach to clients includes familiarizing them with new local measures including a revamped investment-based migration scheme, tax incentives, and upcoming art storage facilities. «UBS has proactively reached out to families to introduce the new policies and discuss what it means to them, how they can benefit and help them preserve wealth and legacy,» Lo said, highlighting investing, art, and philanthropy as key topics.In addition to the new measures, Financial Secretary Paul Chan also announced that the government would allocate HK$100 million to promote family offices during his budget speech in February.
«We are confident that these initiatives will positively shape Hong Kong’s development as an international center for family offices,» Lo added.
