The rise of the Asian family office
Singapore and Hong Kong have become two of the world's largest family-office hubs in barely a decade.
Why it's attractive
As multi-generational business families across Asia professionalize wealth management, tax-incentivized jurisdictions with political stability and deep private-banking infrastructure have drawn thousands of new single-family offices — many set up by exactly the kind of entrepreneurial families profiled on this site.
How to get access
Setting one up typically requires meaningful investable assets (often tens of millions of dollars) and works through private banks, trust companies, and specialist family-office administrators in Singapore, Hong Kong, or the UAE's DIFC/ADGM free zones.
What to watch out for
Family offices are a wealth-management structure, not an asset class — the real investing decisions still happen inside them, spanning everything from public equities to direct private stakes.
