The Family Office Forum convened family offices, entrepreneurs and business leaders at the Rosewood Hong Kong on Thursday for discussions on succession planning, wealth management and investment strategies against the backdrop of shifting global markets.
The event opened with remarks from Anna Wong, founder of FEW, and Anina Ho, founder of Web3 and AI company Future One Mena, who underscored the need for family offices to adopt new tools to manage intergenerational transitions.
Moses Tsang, founding shareholder of FEW and chairman of AP Capital Holdings, said investing should balance returns with purpose and integrity.
A central panel moderated by Wong explored family succession planning with Richie Eu of Traditional Chinese Medicine group Eu Yan Sang and Joud Aboud of the Ghassan Aboud Group.
Speakers discussed governance structures, conflict resolution and the benefits of younger family members gaining outside experience before taking roles in family enterprises.
Lunch sessions highlighted technology and lifestyle offerings for family offices, including Ho’s presentation of an agentic AI platform and a private aviation briefing by Diana Chou of luxury travel firm L’Voyage.
In the afternoon, a panel featuring Christina Gaw of Gaw Capital Partners and Bong Lee of Seoul Auction Blue examined alternative assets ranging from real estate to art, pointing to growth opportunities in markets such as the Middle East.
Notable participants included Christina Gaw, Edwin Pun, Douglas Woo, Patricia Tung-Gaw, Alex Jiaravanont and Joanna Lui-Hickox.
Organizers said the forum provided family offices with a platform to exchange insights on governance, diversification and long-term value creation.
