- Hong Kong enjoys favourable position amid RMB products demand surge
- Hong Kong enjoys favourable position amid RMB products demand surge With the acceleration of RMB internationalisation, foreign investors' demand for RMB products is growing and investors are stepping up investment in the Chinese mainland via Hong Kong’s financial institutions. As the world’s largest offshore RMB hub, Hong Kong enjoys a favorable position to attract worldwide capital as its integration with the mainland deepens. This will bring new growth momentum to local banks and the wealth management sector. Meanwhile, BOCHK is also eyeing on the Southeast Asian market, working closely with different branches to provide them with professional financial market and wealth management information.


- Creating synergy to foster ESG development
- Sustainable investing has been gaining popularity in recent years and ESG investing is now all the rage, prompting financial institutions to engage with clients to create and maximise shared benefits while making contributions to the industry and society. In the process, fintech is playing a significant part, with many banks promoting mobile financial management and fintech tools to minimise the negative environmental impact brought about by their operations. Meanwhile, the rapid development of digitalisation as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic has given rise to a "new normal" for the financial industry, making technology all the more important.


- Rising demand from Mainland clients boosts the wealth management industry
- Hong Kong has long been a significant wealth management centre in the region. It is home to a well-established wealth management industry that has attracted notable assets from high-net-worth (HNW) clients in Asia. The fast-growing HNW population in the Chinese mainland, especially in the Greater Bay Area (GBA), will be the new growth driver for Hong Kong's private banking and wealth management industry. Meanwhile, the intensifying interest of international investors in China-related investments, the growing demand of setting upfamily office, and the rising popularity of ESG investing, will all stand private banking industry in good stead.

Delivering high-quality entertainment to clients while promoting local art -
The first show of Opera Hong Kong’s “Bizet’s Carmen", title-sponsored by BOCHK Private Banking, was staged with success on May 13.

We will continue to uphold our customer-first philosophy, offer professional and bespoke Private Banking services. Organising more value-added activities for our clients.


- One-stop service for you and your family
- Out of crisis can emerge opportunities. The Covid-19 pandemic dealt a heavy blow to the world economy in 2020, especially in the first quarter, but the financial market has been given a new lease of life, thanks to low interests and increased liquidity resulting from quantitative easing measures launched by various countries. Meanwhile, the pandemic has led to some new normals for our everyday life and the business world, and they amount to new opportunities to high-net-worth individuals.
Meanwhile, as Asia is enjoying the fastest wealth growth in the world, and the cross-boundary wealth management connect pilot scheme is likely to be implemented, the private wealth management sector in Hong Kong is set to expand further.


- Helping you take advantage of global investment trends
- Recently the global investment market has been going up, thanks to increased liquidity and low interest rates. The development is expected to help lift the world economy out of the pandemic-induced recession and also bring new investment opportunities to high-net-worth individuals. As the pandemic may not end any time soon, investors have to adjust their strategy in order to safeguard and increase the value of their assets.
