Our Team
"First Generation Entrepreneurs build great businesses, but which generation builds great families? The phase "sleeveless to sleeveless in three generation” is not actually a curse, but the lack of education in how heirs continue to build great families to support great firms that does quality investments, business decisions and philanthropy initiatives. Our philosophy is rooted in the conviction that true legacy building requires not just astute business acumen, but also deep insight into human dynamics and the foresight to navigate an evolving global landscape. Hong Kong, as that vibrant and irreplaceable bridge between East and West, naturally serves as the perfect crucible for these intricate discussions. It's a place where global aspirations converge, and where we strive to elevate the quality of conversations that define tomorrow's family enterprises.
We built this organization to walk alongside families and their advisors in managing legacy, to be the catalyst that transforms challenges into strategic opportunities, and to ensure that the invaluable heritage and future prosperity they envision are not just safeguarded, but allowed to flourish for generations to come."
"The Asian landscape of family office management is evolving, becoming more complex and interconnected than ever before. At HK4Families, we recognize that no single discipline can navigate it alone.
HK4Families is built on a powerful premise: that by sharing knowledge and expertise across these critical fields that support family offices, we can create a holistic community far greater than the sum of its parts. We are more than a network of partnering organizations; we are a collaborative ecosystem dedicated to a shared mission - preserving and perpetuating the legacies of the family firms and enabling professionals to better serve family firms.
We are grateful for our partnering organizations who have supported us all along in this essential endeavor. By joining forces, we will foster a dynamic exchange of knowledge, address common challenges, and pioneer best practices that elevate our entire profession. Through curated forums, working groups, and shared insights, we can build the integrated, forward-thinking strategies that will spearhead Hong Kong’s premier family office hub.
We welcome you to explore this opportunity with us."
Our focus remains unflinchingly on nurturing our organization's capacity for research. We recognize that every ounce of knowledge we generate can potentially light the way for businesses grappling with challenges, or inspire new, innovative approaches. It's not just about accumulating knowledge; it's about making that knowledge work, ensuring that our research informs our engagement with family businesses, and shapes our guidance and advice to them.To ensure our research can be a part of practice, we will continue to craft high-calibre courses, workshops, and conferences here in Hong Kong, with an intention to resonate across Asia. This isn't just about disseminating information; it's about crafting transformative learning experiences that can equip businesses to navigate their unique landscapes successfully.
Our profound commitments lies in supporting the next generation of family business leaders in the Greater Bay Area. It's about more than prolonging the longevity of family businesses; It is about nurturing vision, fostering innovation, understanding the past and ensuring that the baton passed to the NxGen will be a great leader. Lastly, we will continue to do our best to develop Hong Kong as the leading Family Office Hub, as stated by the Chief Executive of Hong Kong in the 2022 Policy Address. The policy presents an exciting convergence of our research, education, and practice expertise, positioning Hong Kong as a key destination for family businesses seeking an integrated approach to managing and growing their wealth. As we move forward on these initiatives, we are fuelled by a sense of immense possibility in shaping the future of family businesses in the GBA and beyond.
