With trillions of dollars in wealth transfer underway in Asia, Manulife HNW chief Bonnie Qiu is doubling down on regional hubs and AI technology to speed up services for a new generation of global clients.

New measures include tax exemptions for digital assets and precious metals as the city eyes a major upgrade to global wealth hub status.

The deal underscores a massive wealth shift in Asia, as families seek more sophisticated ways to protect their fortunes.

As rising government debt challenges traditional safe havens, Tatjana Greil-Castro believes robust corporate balance sheets and emerging market value now offer a more reliable path for private wealth.

The new fund targets high-net-worth investors looking to protect their wealth from market swings by investing in a select group of top hedge funds.

The incoming CIO joins the UK firm as it integrates several new teams and assets following a series of acquisitions.

The DeepSeek shock has brought global capital back to Chinese tech, but UBS' Eva Lee warns that 2026 will be the real test for firms to turn AI buzz into actual profits.

Beyond the AI hype, Prashant Bhayani finds a long-term structural story in Asia&#8217;s overlooked healthcare sector, driven by irreversible demographic shifts.

While US tech giants dominate the spotlight, Steve Alain Lawrence says the overlooked AI opportunities in 2026 lie in Asia&#8217;s supply chain and real-economy applications.

The wealth manager's Asia and Middle East chief investment officer is positioning portfolios with a US underweight and value tilt while cautioning that private credit's apparent stability may prove illusory during market stress.

The private bank says Beijing&#8217;s reluctance to launch massive stimulus is actually good news for the country's tech sector. Here is why.

Private wealth and ultra-high-net-worth investors are shifting allocations toward income-generating illiquid strategies like private credit and music royalties, while Partners Group's Asia head sees more opportunities in China and India despite market scepticism.

Leading asset managers are setting a cautious yet opportunistic tone for 2026, emphasizing a strategic pivot away from broad diversification toward more deliberate and selective exposures in private markets. 

The coming decade will be a critical test for Asia's entrepreneurial families. Those who proactively bridge the generational divide and professionalize their approach will see their legacies endure. Those who don't risk seeing a lifetime of work dissipate.

In an industry built on long-term lock-ins and opaque fees, Klay Group is betting that the ultra-wealthy want a simple right most firms won't give them: the right to leave.
