Hong Kong Wealth Hub Strengthens with Family Office Growth

The Hong Kong wealth hub is reinforcing its position as one of the world's leading centres for offshore wealth management, supported by rapid growth in family offices, recovering capital markets and stronger cross-border investment flows.

According to Boston Consulting Group, Hong Kong managed USD2.95tr in offshore assets at the end of 2025, overtaking Switzerland to become the world's largest offshore wealth centre.

Government figures showed the number of family offices increased 25% year on year to 3,384 following the launch of the New Capital Investor Entrant Scheme in 2024, which grants residency to qualifying high-net-worth investors meeting prescribed investment thresholds.

Hong Kong also led global IPO fundraising in 2025, raising USD37.4bn.

Wealth managers said the city's sophisticated financial ecosystem, together with Stock Connect and ETF Connect, continues to attract ultra-high-net-worth individuals seeking diversified investment opportunities across mainland China and international markets.

The latest figures reinforce the Hong Kong wealth hub's growing appeal to global family offices and institutional investors.
