Indian Family Offices Favour Hong Kong for Wealth and Succession Planning

Indian family-owned enterprises are increasingly turning to Hong Kong as a preferred destination for establishing family offices, driven by the city’s robust legacy planning expertise, access to global markets, and sound governance frameworks. As intergenerational Indian businesses look to manage succession and safeguard long-term wealth, Hong Kong has emerged as a trusted jurisdiction supported by legal experts, financial advisors, and private banks. Notable families such as the Harilelas and the KGK Group exemplify this trend, using Hong Kong to strengthen family governance and wealth structuring strategies. In addition to succession planning, Hong Kong's status as Asia’s leading cross-border wealth hub offers exposure to a wide range of asset classes, including equities, green finance, and digital assets. The city’s evolving regulatory landscape, particularly its oversight of virtual assets, further enhances its appeal for Indian family offices seeking operational clarity and sustainable long-term growth.
