The Zhitong Finance App learned that on March 26, the “Yuze Xiangjiang” Summit Forum was successfully completed. The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, Mr Hui Ching-yu, pointed out at the conference that the summit forum was well received, once again confirming Hong Kong as an excellent global family office center. Opportunities abound in Hong Kong. It is a “super contact” connecting East and West. More than 2,700 single-family offices have chosen to settle and develop in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is committed to helping everyone make good use of Hong Kong's unique ecosystem to create a sustainable impact and work together for the vision based on the three major directions of “building”, “learning” and “contributing”.

Director of Hong Kong Investment Promotion Liu Kaixuan said that Hong Kong is Asia's leading global wealth management, innovation and sustainable investment hub. The “Yuze Heung Kong” Summit Forum once again demonstrated its leadership position, bringing together family offices from around the world to discuss how to make good use of Hong Kong's sound financial infrastructure and connectivity advantages with the rest of the world to promote positive change. The Hong Kong Investment Promotion Department will continue to make every effort to help global investors seize new opportunities and exert long-term influence in Asia and the wider region.

Hong Kong's Financial Secretary, Mr Chan Mao-po, said that the family office plays an important role in inheriting family wealth, promoting philanthropy and guiding impact investments around the world. As an international financial center, Hong Kong has efficient financial and professional services and provides broad investment opportunities; at the same time, it has brought together international foundations, charitable organizations and NGOs to form a thriving charitable network.

At the same time, Hong Kong is also vigorously promoting the development of innovation and technology in the fields of green technology and artificial intelligence to contribute to the future of mankind. These conditions, combined with the high quality of life in Hong Kong, the gathering of Chinese and foreign cultures, and diverse events, make Hong Kong an ideal place for a family office to settle in and implement the vision.

AdLegacy founder Horst Bente said Hong Kong has always been a very special place for their family. As early as the sixties and seventies, their company used Hong Kong as a springboard to gradually explore the Asian market. In my opinion, Hong Kong has always been an important bridge into the Asian market. It has gathered top investors, strong financial strength, and excellent talents. It is a vibrant city, which not only has perfect infrastructure, but is also passionate about sports. They hope to be part of the city's development and jointly create a new chapter in Hong Kong's sports industry.

These are all important foundations for family offices to seek long-term development. Hong Kong people are passionate about doing business. This entrepreneurial spirit has never changed. It also makes Hong Kong full of vitality, making it an ideal place for companies that value their heritage to find new partners and explore new opportunities.

Cai Chongxin, co-founder and chairman of Alibaba Group, said that when he first met Hong Kong in the 80s, he was attracted to this international city full of entrepreneurial spirit. Despite experiencing different challenges, Hong Kong has maintained the characteristics of a free market, a thriving financial market, and a favorable tax environment. These advantages all make Hong Kong one of the best places for businesses and family offices to develop.
