Hubbis will assemble a group of experts for our November 12 Digital Dialogue for a fascinating discussion into the latest trends in, and outlook for, the world of wealth structuring and planning for Asia’s wealthy. The overriding theme is that the world of wealth structuring has seldom been more dynamic, and certainly never as focused on transparency and legitimacy. At the same time, the pandemic has highlighted mortality in the starkest of lights, boosting the already-growing drive in Asia towards professionalised legacy and wealth planning.

There are numerous drivers behind the institutionalisation and professionalisation of the management of the private wealth of Asia's HNWI and UHNWI families. These include the immense proliferation of global regulations, as well as the associated tax revenue maximisation and information sharing, and cooperation between national governments and their authorities, and of course the tighter supervision of the financial advisory community and their clients.

As the founder generations of Asia’s wealthy and uber-wealthy families and family dynasties increasingly seek guidance for wealth and estate transfer to the younger family generations, it is important for the banks and other advisory firms in Asia to understand how to deal with these clients. Some families bury their heads in the sand, ignoring the need for clearly defined decisions and roles, while others are keen to embrace the process and to put in place the right governance, structures, and direction for the next generations.

It is vital for Asia’s wealth families to create the right wealth structures, to accept the need to distance themselves from those structures, and to work with those bankers, advisers and experts who will truly help devise and revise the optimal structures, bearing also in mind the need to align those structures with the best practices and jurisdictions, as reputation is not to be considered lightly these days.

The consolidation of the management of family wealth through a single-family or even a multiple family office can help ensure a professional approach to the management of the investments, the management of the professionals and jurisdictions with which the family works, and also help with estate and succession processes. There is consequently a major trend towards concentration of structures and relationships to the best-reputed and best managed IFCs.

If Asia’s wealth management industry wants to best serve its clients, and also to retain the younger generations of wealthy for the future, they should also be helping encourage families to embrace inclusiveness in their business and estate and succession planning for the future, especially as the family business is so central to Asia’s private wealth.

The panel will discuss these key trends and identify how the Asian wealth management community and their private clients can work more effectively together to resolve many of the challenges of today and those that lie ahead.
