Family Office
 
 
Background
Four Challenges Faced by Mainland China's Ultra-High Net-Worth Individuals

Complexity & Professionalism

Investment approaches of family office are becoming more sophisticated and specialised

Generations

As the first-generation entrepreneurs grow older, they are handing over the reins to the second and even third generation

IPO

The surge in recent major IPOs or equity incentive schemes have created many new wealthy individuals, who also need to think thoroughly on urgent issues such as how to pass on and allocate their material and spiritual wealth, and fulfil their social responsibilities.

Legal

Family office remains a relatively nascent concept in Mainland China, and neither relevant laws nor regulatory authorities have clarified its scope of business. This leads to problems like lack of entry barriers to the industry and unclear definitions of the business nature.

How to guide the family office industry to achieve healthy and orderly development and build a "Mainland Chinese-style" innovative family office has become an important issue for the industry and academic communities.
