Since the Hong Kong Government’s official launch in March, the new Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (CIES) has recorded double-digit applications and over 1,600 enquiries as of early April as part of its drive to enhance the city’s diversity of skilled individuals and draw in new investment. The scheme is designed to attract new asset owners and their family to settle in Hong Kong, obtain local residency, and discover the city’s enormous opportunities for investment and wealth management.

Family office businesses are becoming an important component of the financial services industry in Hong Kong, not just because of the huge business potential offered to a wide range of professionals, but also because the growing number of family offices operating in Hong Kong showcases the city’s strengths as an international finance and wealth management hub.

Lioner International Group Ltd. (Lioner), a financial services pioneer, announced today the opening of its new Beijing office, enhancing its family office advisory offering in China as well as enabling greater synergy across the region through its offices in Hong Kong and Singapore, where it provides 3-in-1 insurance, trust, and family office advisory services for high-net-worth (HNW) clients. The opening of Lioner’s new Beijing office reinforces the company’s confidence in China's long-term economic growth and the country's prominent role in the global economy. In contrast to the Hong Kong and Singapore entities, Lioner’s Beijing office will not be operating as a broker in China. Its operations will solely focus on providing family office advisory services to their valued clients, an area currently in high demand in China.
