Top 50 Asian Advisors and managers 2025
Across Asia the family office sector is expanding at remarkable speed as Hong Kong and Singapore establish themselves as the region’s twin centres of wealth management. Both cities offer favourable tax environments, regulatory clarity and deep financial markets that appeal to ultra wealthy families preparing for an estimated 5.8 trillion US dollars in wealth transfer by 2030. The surge in single family offices reflects a shift toward more structured governance, professionalised investment oversight and multi jurisdictional strategies, with many families now operating in both hubs to balance opportunity and risk in a maturing and increasingly sophisticated ecosystem.

Across Asia, the family-office sector is undergoing rapid expansion and professionalisation. In key wealth hubs such as Hong Kong and Singapore, favourable tax regimes, regulatory clarity, and deep financial ecosystems have fuelled a surge in family-office activity. McKinsey reports that between 2023 and 2030, ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth families in Asia Pacific are expected to transfer around US$5.8 trillion in wealth, prompting many to establish or scale family offices to manage succession, investments, governance, and risk. The number of single-family offices across both cities has roughly quadrupled since 2020, underscoring their emergence as dual centres of wealth management in the region.
Rather than operating in competition, Hong Kong and Singapore are increasingly viewed as complementary hubs in a multi-jurisdictional wealth network. Some of the region’s wealthiest families now maintain offices in both cities, diversifying across regulatory and geopolitical environments. Reuters notes that Singapore’s single-family offices climbed to around 2,000 in 2024, supported by policy reforms and incentives to attract family-office capital. Meanwhile, Deloitte highlights a shift toward institutional governance, sustainable investing, and structured succession planning—signs of a maturing ecosystem that underpins Asia’s growing prominence in the global wealth landscape.
