AS a Filipino delegate to the Hong Kong Academy for Wealth Legacy Summit for family offices, I was honored to participate in a series of programs demonstrating Hong Kong's role as Asia's premier family office and philanthropy hub. After spending considerable time in Hong Kong, the global headquarters for thousands of single-family offices, I believe it is imperative for the Philippines to actively lean in with this growing community of asset owners and inheritors.
CEO Joel Consing, who shared insights into the sovereign wealth fund's strategy and emphasized how the Philippines can leverage Hong Kong's financial expertise to access global capital markets.The Legacy Summit followed at the Conrad Hotel, with opening remarks from HK financial secretary Paul Chan. A fireside chat brought together scions of prominent Hong Kong real estate business families: Adrian Cheng , Daryl Ng and Adam Kwok , to engage in a candid conversation about family legacies.
