Introduction
According to a report published by Altrata in 2023, Hong Kong stands out as a premier city for ultra and high net worth (U/HNW) individuals, attracting affluent individuals globally due to its vibrant economy and strategic location.
The city boasts a significant population of 12,615 UHNW individuals, and despite a 23% decline in its ultra wealthy population, Hong Kong remains as a top city for U/HNW individuals.
[Altrata defines ultra high net worth individuals as having a net worth of US$30+ million and very high net worth individuals as having a net worth of US$5 to US$30 million. For transparency, Altrata is not a client of Eight Public Relations].
The city's appeal is further enhanced by its thriving wealth management sector, offering diverse financial products and asset classes to cater to the needs of high net worth individuals.
Asia's Wealth Management Hub
Hong Kong has solidified its position as a prominent hub for wealth management, leveraging its strategic location, robust financial system, and vibrant market ecosystem.
The city's reputation as a global finance center and its connections with mainland China have facilitated a dynamic and secure environment for wealth creation, management, and protection.
With a high concentration of accounting and law firms, investment professionals, advisory businesses, and private banks, Hong Kong boasts a significant presence in the global asset and wealth management landscape and the sector manages a substantial amount of assets, highlighting its importance in the financial world.
The city's strengths as a leading private wealth management hub include ease of onboarding, a wide range of investment options, and investor protection, positioning it favourably in the competitive wealth management industry, and enhances Hong Kong's appeal as a hub for wealthy investors looking to diversify their portfolios globally.
Overall, Hong Kong's strategic initiatives, financial infrastructure, and proactive measures position it as a key player in the wealth management sector, attracting investors and professionals from around the globe.
Wealth Management PR
To attract UHNW clients, businesses must prioritize the development of a strong reputation, the provision of customized financial solutions, collaboration with specialized advisors, and the delivery of personalized wealth management services.
A key aspect is the implementation of wealth public relations (PR), which helps to build trust and credibility. Through the strategic use of testimonials, case studies, industry awards, and certifications, sponsorships, and more firms can showcase their expertise and commitment to client success, drawing and retaining affluent clients.
While your firm may be internationally recognised and the service provider community know your products and services well, if the ultra high net wealth individual has never heard of you, then consider their business lost.

Hong Kong's unique position as a hub for professional service providers further solidifies its reputation as an ideal location for wealth management firms to thrive and for UHNW individuals to find trustworthy and proficient financial guidance.
