As the local host, Dr. Nick Xiao, Chief Executive Officer of Hywin International, expressed his excitement. “Ultra-high-net-worth clients are the most sought after segment for the global wealth managers. Their prudence, depth of knowledge, extended horizon for planning, and the interplay between wealth, family and business require their advisors to have the highest dedication, true humility, passion, nuances, and good judgement,” said Dr. Xiao.

Lawrence Lok, Chief Financial Officer of Hywin Holdings, added: “It has been a most enjoyable program for our clients, and for ourselves too. Clients ask new questions, face new issues, and expect Hywin to understand the changing world and help them position for it. Meanwhile, our professional partners appreciate the opportunities to meet our clients, and take on mandates and assignments. Hywin is truly the bridge across borders, and matchmaker between clients and solutions.”
Roland Song, Head of Hywin Family Office, couldn’t agree more. “Ultra-high-net-worth clients see the world in motion, and approach life as a web of relationships, pursuits, and aspirations. Hywin Family Office is not just the engine of investing or a reservoir of insights. We are fellow travelers with our clients on the journey to experience and to discover - curious, always helpful, and truly trusted.”
Chinese UHNW clients, who are the most demanding and discerning investors, have significantly increased their appetite for global asset allocation during the past few years. To meet their surging needs, Hywin was one of the first movers in launching the Family Office proposition in Mainland China and it has crafted a suite of solutions tailored for these clients. In the offshore space, Hywin International has set a benchmark in the multi-family office space, winning accolades from industry publications and the Hong Kong S.A.R Government, and serving UHNW clients domiciled in Greater China, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.
March 26, 2023 marks the second anniversary of Hywin as a public company. The delegation program is a great success not just in terms of bringing insights to Chinese UHNW clients by re-discovering Hong Kong, but also by demonstrating Hywin’s full commitment to building a global ecosystem of wealth management solutions that is offered to all Hywin clients.
