Dear Members and Friends
First and foremost, I would like to wish you all the best for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
At the beginning of a new year we often ask ourselves what the new year will bring. Well, overtime I had to find out myself that despite of all the things we seem to have under our control many events are taking placing or shapping our lives without an exact announcement date. Just think of the impact of AI. Therefore, planning becomes more of an act of striking a balance between having a plan on one hand and staying prepared for the unknown on the other. I wish you a good hand in applying your personal navigation tools.
At SHKBA we stay excited about the many opportunities HK has to offer in business, arts or travel. There are many ways of exploring and tapping into the Greater Bay Area (GBA). Please make use of the SHKBA’s network and strong relationships. Furthermore, we are making good progress in the preparation of an event to present HK as an attractive hub for Family Offices. More information will follow in due time.
I hope to see many of you at the upcoming Chinese New Year Reception. Please take good note of the new location at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Zurich.
with best
wishes,
