The Hong Kong Academy for Wealth Legacy will host a three-day summit in September, marking its latest effort to promote the city as a hub for wealthy families to pursue investments, establish succession planning and support various charities.
“The academy will arrange various activities to allow the family office principals to share their knowledge on how to develop their businesses and investments, as well as to build up their family legacy through various development goals including philanthropy, impact investments, arts and culture, and more,” Angel Chia, the academy’s newly appointed executive director, told the South China Morning Post in an interview.
Launched in November under the Financial Services Development Council, the academy aims to nurture talent for family offices and build the city’s ecosystem for such enterprises, next-generation wealth owners and wealth-management professionals.

Chia, who started her role in the academy in March, said the summit will be held from September 12 to 14 and is expected to attract a similar number of attendees to the academy’s first event in May, which had more than 100 participants.
The academy’s latest initiative reflects Hong Kong’s efforts to burnish its credentials as Asia’s hub for wealthy family offices.
