FOAHK is an independent family office trade association established in November 2020. As a nonprofit consultative industry body, we represent family offices serving ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals and their families on governance, legislative and regulatory matters.

By connecting and facilitating collaboration between family offices, governments, professional parties, and other relevant industry bodies in Hong Kong and overseas, we aim to strengthen Hong Kong as the region’s family office hub, attracting and retaining investment and talent opportunities for the industry.

Since our establishment, FOAHK has been dedicated to fostering talent development. Through this first family office case competition in Hong Kong, we aim to allow students to gain a better understanding into how family offices operate, how family offices respond to higher regulatory and industry awareness in Green and Sustainable Finance, and explore potential future career in the family office ecosystem, such as private banking, investment banking, asset management, FinTech, etc.

We strive to nurture young talents, new joiners in MFO and next-generation of family businesses.

FOAHK 2023 Case Competition provides an opportunity for students to gain insights into the growing family office industry and the trends in sustainable investment in Asia. Through the case competition, students are able to discover what it takes to work as a Relationship Manager in a multifamily office (MFO).
