An increasing number of the world’s wealthiest individuals and families live in Asia. But for the most part, there are only three centres of significant family office activity in the region – India, Singapore and Hong Kong.
The two biggest economies in the region – China and Japan – are big centres for family office activity. China isn’t because the government still has an ambiguous attitude towards entrepreneurs and family wealth – yes, it’s obviously OK to make a fortune in China, but the very rich need to stay on side of the Communist party and a family office might not be the best way of doing so.
Japan, with a big family business culture, also has a dearth of family offices. High inheritance taxes and family businesses constructed around holding groups, which invest are two big reasons why a healthy ecosystem of family offices haven’t gained hold in Japan.
Singapore is fast becoming the centre for family office activity in the region, as we detail here. Indeed, the city-state is perhaps the number one place on earth with more family office activity than any other country.
