Why Singapore Has Become a Family Office Hotspot
Listen now
Description
Family offices -- they’re the secretive, go-anywhere asset managers that quietly steward fortunes for the ultra-rich. In Asia, Singapore has emerged as the new family office hot spot, wooing captains of industry, crypto whales, and Chinese billionaires with low taxes, favorable regulations, a business-friendly environment, and safety and security. The island has become home to more than 1,100 family offices, which manage more than $4 trillion in assets. Why is Singapore such a draw for the world’s billionaires? Is the growth sustainable? And what are the risks? Venture capitalist and family office CEO Sharon Sim joins co-hosts John Lee and Tom Corbett for a look under the hood at this insular but fast-growing corner of the high net-worth world.
