Singapore is the new Hong Kong for China's Ultra Rich

Tighter scrutiny from Chinese authorities may be driving HNWIs away from Hong Kong.

Bloomberg reports that Singapore is slowly emerging as the preferred overseas investment location for China’s high-net worth individuals over its close regional rival Hong Kong amidst tighter scrutiny from Chinese authorities and changing banking practices.

Singapore’s tax transparency agreements, whilst covering 61 jurisdictions, do not include either Hong Kong or Beijing which means that account information isn't easily visible to the Chinese government.

“We see Singapore, not Hong Kong, as the bridgehead of China’s investment overseas,” says Li Qinghao, co-founder of NewBanker Tech Consulting.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
