Xu Zhengyu: Global Uncertainty Makes “Yuzek Hong Kong” Timely

The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Xu Zhengyu, stated that with the accelerating changes in the global landscape and increasing geopolitical complexities, holding the “Yuzek Hong Kong” Summit at this time is very appropriate. It provides a platform for family offices seeking diversified allocations and risk dispersion to exchange ideas and explore opportunities. Hong Kong’s international financial market combines depth and breadth, supported by a robust and transparent legal and tax system, world-class financial and professional services, and a comprehensive ecosystem of charity, arts, and innovation. For family offices, it offers an ideal environment for growth potential and stability.

He indicated that the Hong Kong government will continue to strengthen Hong Kong’s position as the Asia-Pacific hub for family wealth, employing a multi-pronged approach to promote industry development. This includes enhancing Hong Kong’s attractiveness to global family capital through tax incentives, talent attraction, investment facilitation, and ecosystem development, aiming to become the preferred platform for ultra-high-net-worth families managing cross-border wealth.

Multiple Financial Events This Week

Besides the “Yuzek Hong Kong” Summit, Milken Institute and Bloomberg will also 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 better showcase Hong Kong’s unique appeal in the family office industry to international capital, allowing participants to interact and exchange ideas in Hong Kong and explore opportunities together.
