Standing proud with my clients, Chi-man Kwan and Kendrick Lee as they pull off the biggest edition of the Raffles Family Office Annual Forum yet, in Hong Kong! ????????

Delighted to be back for a third time moderating to a full house, where we kicked off with a fireside chat with Mr Yusuf Murangwa, Rwanda’s minister for finance and economic planning. We dove deep into the mutual opportunities to unlocking growth and capital in Rwanda, the “flexible facilitator”.

Then onto a parallel panel exploring luxury collectibles as strategic alternatives with luminaries from Christie’s (Kevin Ching) and LVMH (Chris Chong) – what interesting perspectives into provenance and buyer habits.

Finally, we closed the loop on wealth management in a conversation with the top guns in mediation (Dr Christopher To), tax laws and structures (Patrick Yip) and family governance (Andreas Zehnder) – a practical discussion infused with enlightening anecdotes.

Congrats again to RFO on celebrating a trailblazing first decade – so much more to look forward to in the next and beyond
