Family Office | Yuze Victoria Peak Forum Successfully Held Chen Maobo: Hong Kong is the Best Gateway to Seize Mainland Opportunities

The 4th “Yuzuo Hong Kong” Summit was successfully held today with the theme “Building Legacy,” bringing together over 400 influential decision-makers from top family offices, heirs, industry leaders, and pioneers from around the world to explore new ideas for intergenerational inheritance and sustainable value growth in global family offices.

Financial Secretary Paul Chan said at the dinner speech that, in the face of risks and uncertainties, investors are seeking diversified allocations. Families looking to pass on their wealth are also searching for safe havens—not just places to park capital, but locations with institutional advantages, clear legal frameworks, and trustworthy commitments.

He continued that Hong Kong is not only such a safe haven but also a city full of business opportunities that can promote connectivity and foster growth, enabling more effective capital deployment. For families worldwide, Hong Kong is undoubtedly the best gateway to seize the vast opportunities in Mainland China. International capital and investors are confident about Hong Kong’s prospects. Last year, the local stock market performed strongly, and asset and wealth management businesses continued to thrive. Meanwhile, Hong Kong is actively developing new sectors such as gold, commodities trading, fixed income, and currency markets, further enriching its financial ecosystem.

Undersecretary for Finance Christopher Hui said that Hong Kong is an excellent base for family offices seeking stable and diversified investments. As global situations become increasingly uncertain, with ongoing conflicts and escalating tensions, Hong Kong’s advantages are even more valuable. Under the “One Country, Two Systems” framework, Hong Kong offers a predictable policy environment and a robust, reliable institutional system.

Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po pointed out that Hong Kong is a safe haven for ambitious families, offering policy stability and a mature ecosystem that helps turn visions into long-term impact. The SAR government will continue to strengthen this foundation and promote Hong Kong as a hub for inheritance and innovation.

Invest Hong Kong Director Simon Galpin said that Invest Hong Kong will continue to serve as a bridge, providing comprehensive strategic support and practical measures for global families, transforming the opportunities for cooperation discussed at the forum into tangible results in “building legacy” in Hong Kong.
