Hong Kong’s single-family offices total surpasses 3 380, injecting over $10 billion annually into local economy

HONG KONG, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB) and Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) jointly announced today (February 10) that over 3 380 single-family offices were in operation in Hong Kong as of the end of 2025, according to the Market Study on the Family Office Landscape in Hong Kong commissioned by InvestHK and conducted by Deloitte. This represents an increase of about 680 offices over the past two years, equivalent to a growth of more than 25 per cent.

The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Christopher Hui, said, “Hong Kong is a leading global asset and wealth management hub, with sustained and robust development in its family office ecosystem. The continued growth in the number of family offices in Hong Kong reflects the tangible outcomes of the Government’s efforts in policy formulation and institutional development. Amidst global changes, the family office industry and asset management sector are undergoing a rapid evolution, placing greater emphasis on sustainable growth, intergenerational legacy, and positive impact. Under the ‘one country, two systems’ framework, Hong Kong, with its advantages of being backed by the motherland and connected to the world, provides a favourable environment which is both predictable and has high potential for family offices to grow. The Government will continue to pursue the development of the family office sector through multipronged measures, including enhancing tax arrangements, implementing the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme, conducting global investment promotion activities by the dedicated FamilyOfficeHK team of InvestHK, establishing the Hong Kong Academy for Wealth Legacy, etc.”

He added, “In particular, we plan to introduce legislative proposals in the first half of this year to expand the scope of qualifying investment for the preferential tax regimes offered to funds and single-family offices, covering, for example, precious metals, loans and private credit investments, and digital assets. With various policy measures in place, we are confident of achieving the new target set out in the Chief Executive’s 2025 Policy Address to assist more than 220 family offices to establish or expand their business in Hong Kong from 2026 to 2028.”

The Director-General of Investment Promotion at InvestHK, Ms Alpha Lau, said, “When our dedicated family office team conducted promotional activities in Europe and Southeast Asia, we learned that many overseas family offices had a strong interest in Hong Kong’s institutional advantages and tax incentives. Hong Kong offers a highly flexible investment environment, with a preferential tax regime that imposes no restrictions on the geographical location of investments, and facilitates family offices to invest in global assets through Hong Kong. In addition, single-family offices are not required to obtain a licence in Hong Kong in general, which helps maintain a high level of privacy. These are key considerations that overseas family offices particularly value.”

Family offices contribute to the local economy in various ways, such as making diversified financial investments, managing their operations, pursuing philanthropic endeavours, etc. The study estimates that single-family offices operating in Hong Kong contribute approximately $12.6 billion annually to the local economy through operating expenditures alone, and that they directly employ over 10 000 full-time professionals within their operations. Taking account of multifamily offices and other service providers supporting family offices, the actual economic benefits are expected to be even more substantial.

The study also highlights Hong Kong’s pivotal role in asset and wealth management in Asia, with assets under management of approximately $35 trillion (about US$4.5 trillion) as of end-2024. In addition, Hong Kong ranked second in the number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals as of June 2025, being one of the top destinations for setting up family offices. The Government will continue to work closely with the industry to introduce more supporting measures, with a view to developing a robust family office ecosystem.

75 YEARS OF GRANGE CELEBRATED BY A SHORT FILM

ANCHORED BY MARKING MOMENTS, MUSIC AND MEMORY: ONCE TASTED, NEVER FORGOTTEN

SINGAPORE, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Penfolds has released The Conversation: The Memory of Music, a 90-second short film celebrating 75 years of Penfolds most iconic wine (1951 (experimental) – 2026), and the moments it has helped shape in many people’s lives. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Alexis Gómez and developed in partnership with International Creative Agency, Frosty, the film honours Grange through creative storytelling.


Penfolds presents The Memory of Music, a cinematic exploration of Grange, directed by award-winning filmmaker Alexis Gómez. The film invites you into a powerful conversation, where music evokes memory, and memory infuses the palate. The first refrains of a song unfold into something richer: the notes of Grange. Rich. Bold. Lasting. Once Tasted, Never Forgotten. Discover more: https://www.penfolds.com/grange.html

Set in Lisbon, Portugal, the content follows a couple across two locations, each reflecting where they are in a conversation. The film captures the essence of Penfolds flagship wine through a quiet and reflective discussion between two characters, portrayed by British actors Edward Hayter and Ellen Francis. Through music and dialogue, the film explores how special moments are remembered not just through memory, but through sound and taste – showing how a familiar note or the first sip can bring a moment from the past back into focus.

“Some of life’s most important moments unfold during an occasion, a celebration or simply around a table over a meal and a glass of wine,” says Kristy Keyte, Penfolds Chief Marketing Officer. “The Conversation is a tribute to the 75-year legacy of Penfolds Grange, a wine chosen time and again to mark milestones, special moments and celebrations around the world.”

“Once tasted, never forgotten – Grange is a wine remembered not just for its taste, but for the experiences it complements and the lasting impression it leaves.”

The film will premiere across Penfolds owned channels including Penfolds.com, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram from October 27, with additional regional media placements in Australia, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and more in 2026.

“This film beautifully intertwines art and the infinite essence of a Penfolds wine,” says Alexis Gómez, Director. “It speaks to how art opens worlds of memory, truth and legacy – the unseen and intangible worlds that live all around us.”

This global roll-out positions The Conversation as a major cultural moment for Penfolds, celebrating the 75th anniversary of Grange – a milestone that will be reached and celebrated throughout 2026 – and reinforcing its legacy as one of the world’s most celebratory wines.

Born from a vision of Max Schubert in 1951, Penfolds Grange is a wine that defied convention and defined a new era of winemaking in Australia. Today, it remains a symbol of innovation, passion and determination, and is the purest reflection of Penfolds House Style.

EDITOR’S NOTE 

ABOUT PENFOLDS GRANGE

As Penfolds flagship, Grange is the ultimate expression of Penfolds House Style and the benchmark for winemaking style and quality. The creation of the first experimental vintage by Max Schubert was inspired by a trip he took to Europe in 1950, which included stops in Lisbon and Bordeaux. With a vision to create an Australian wine with the same aging potential as the ones he saw overseas, the 1951 vintage was grounded in invention, passion, risk and determination. In the years since, Grange has elevated Penfolds to global fine winemaker. With an unbroken lineage of vintages since 1951, Grange is one of the most consistently produced – and celebrated – wines in the world, achieving more than 37 perfect scores from wine critics in its almost 75 years. It is underpinned by Penfolds approach to multi-regional sourcing and blending, with only the best fruit from South Australia selected each year and matured in Penfolds cellars. The Penfolds Winemaking Team are the custodians of Grange, united by an unmistakable red thread that connects generations of skill and innovation across hemispheres.

Huawei Cloud Thailand Highlights Secure AI Direction for Enterprises at Cybersec Asia 2026

BANGKOK, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Huawei Cloud Thailand reaffirmed its vision for secure, purpose-driven AI adoption at Cybersec Asia 2026 Bangkok, responding to growing enterprise demand for scalable and trustworthy artificial intelligence across the region.

Speaking at the event to regional technology and cybersecurity leaders, Mr. Surasak Wanichwatphibun, Chief Technology Officer of Huawei Cloud Thailand, noted that AI adoption in Asia-Pacific has entered a new phase, shifting from digital transformation to enterprise-wide intelligent transformation, driven by the need for higher efficiency, cost control, and faster decision-making.

“AI should never start with technology alone,” he said. “Organizations must first define clear objectives, ensure data readiness, and build strong governance and security foundations before deploying AI at scale.”

Mr. Surasak Wanichwatphibun, Chief Technology Officer of Huawei Cloud Thailand

Huawei Cloud Thailand highlighted the increasing adoption of hybrid AI models, combining open-source AI for sensitive or high-risk data with cloud-based AI services for innovation-driven use cases. This approach allows enterprises to balance cost management, flexibility, and data security, while reducing operational complexity.

The CTO emphasized that AI success depends not only on model selection, but also on tools that support AI development, orchestration, and lifecycle management across diverse environments.

End-to-End AI Stack with Security at the Core

Huawei Cloud’s AI capabilities are built on its end-to-end technology stack, integrating proprietary hardware and software. This includes Ascend AI processors, AI development platforms, large-model services, and application tools designed to support training, deployment, and operations at scale.

Huawei Cloud currently operates 34 cloud regions worldwide, with three data centers in Thailand, ensuring data sovereignty and compliance with local regulations. The company complies with more than 170 global certifications covering security, operations, and industry standards.

“We are the only cloud provider that designs and builds both its own hardware and software,” Mr. Surasak said. “This enables optimized performance, elastic resource allocation, and cost efficiency for large AI workloads.”

Security by Design for Trusted AI

AI security was a central theme of the presentation. Huawei Cloud stressed that AI security must span the entire lifecycle—from data quality and model integrity to access control, privacy protection, and continuous threat monitoring.

Huawei Cloud’s security architecture features multi-layer protection, encryption across storage and transmission, strict identity management, and AI-powered monitoring to detect and mitigate threats in real time. These measures help organizations ensure that AI systems are not only powerful, but also trustworthy, compliant, and resilient.

“Trusted AI starts with understanding what data can be used, who can access it, and how AI outputs are validated,” the CTO said. “Security cannot be an afterthought.”

Powering Thailand’s AI-Driven Growth

Through its cloud infrastructure, AI platforms, and security-first approach, Huawei Cloud Thailand aims to support enterprises across industries as they accelerate AI adoption responsibly and at scale.

“Our focus is to help organizations turn AI ambition into real business outcomes—securely, compliantly, and efficiently,” he concluded.
