[Webinar]: Private Family Trusts: Benefits, Trends and Challenges
概要
According to SFC’s 2018 Asset and Wealth Management Activities Survey, the private wealth AUMs amounted to HKD7.6trillion. As of July 2019, Bloomberg reported that Hong Kong made up 30% of Asia’s 20 richest families. These High Net Worth Individuals (“HNWIs”) and Ultra HNWIs (“UHNWIs”) seek options to help them manage their families’ financial lives, not just managing their assets. Private Family Trusts have become an increasingly popular choice for asset protection, family succession and preservation of their family wealth.
