Moses Chan, who juggles being a successful actor and an entrepreneur, not to mention being a father of three, having a team of experts behind the scenes enabled Chan to embrace his roles and stay focused on the stage while expanding his venture.
Over the course of his career after returning from Australia where he spent a decade, his roles in several acclaimed TVB dramas have earned him Best Actor accolades. Behind this glamour, Chan is a devoted husband to actress Aimee Chan and father to three children.
Adding to his repertoire is his entrepreneurial venture of flourishing business that reflects his well-known passion for coffee and tea. With so many demands on his time, Chan turned to BOCHK’s Private Wealth service for support in managing his financial affairs.
Despite his many accomplishments, Chan remains humble about his financial acumen. “My financial literacy is somewhat limited, so I believe in professionals who can put in 100 per cent concentration can bring better results.” he admits.
The combination of various wealth management specialists and a dedicated Relationship Manager at BOCHK ensures that all aspects of his financial and business requirements are thoroughly addressed. “They can tailor my financial plan to my needs and goals and provide a full range of financial products and services. This kind of personalised service allows me to continue to combine work and entertainment, enjoy life, and take care of my family at the same time, which is really satisfying.” he says.
Chan’s commitment to planning ahead and planning for what the future might hold also includes his children. “Aimee and I both grew up in the West, so we hope our children will have the chance to study overseas,” he says. “I rely on the professionals to help diversify my investments and grow my portfolio. It’s important to start planning early because the expenses will only increase over time.”
BOCHK Private Wealth’s all-round financial solutions have enabled Chan to save and invest with confidence, ensuring that he is prepared to meet the rising costs of overseas tuition and living expenses. This forward-thinking approach is shared by Tania Wan, Deputy General Manager of Personal Banking and Wealth Management at BOCHK, also a parent, who also believes in the importance of setting up sustainable financial solutions to safeguard her child’s future.
Chan and Wan want to allow their children free will, encourage them to explore, and teach them to embrace failure. They also believe in providing a safe and supportive home but never dictate how much their children should achieve. Chan and Wan credit their own parents for much of their parenting style, saying they learned from the best but have also made efforts to navigate the ever-changing social landscape.
Yet, his forward-thinking mindset ensures he is always prepared for what lies ahead. “I always hope for the best but prepare for the future, so wealth management has become one of the tools I use to secure a fruitful future for myself and my loved ones.”
“Our current efforts are all for the future of our children. For example, we have the habit of saving, but saving alone is no longer enough because it can barely keep up with inflation. Picking the right people to manage your finances is very important.”
