Wealth management firm Lioner International Group has opened its Hong Kong office with a focus on greater China market.

The Hong Kong office gives Lioner’s Asia high net worth clients access to a broad spectrum of value-added financial consultancy services ranging from corporate governance, tax planning and legal expertise.

It will help the group provide better services to its clients in, Lioner said in a statement.

As part of the office launch, Katrina Chuk was appointed as managing director of Lioner. She will be focusing on growing the firm’s business in greater China to take advantage of the gap in the market for a “holistic financial service” for wealthy individuals.

Prior to Lioner, Chuk was senior vice president of International Planning Group.

She said: “I am particularly excited about Lioner’s integrated approach that enables me to help clients tackle various challenges in the journey of wealth planning and succession planning.”

Meanwhile, the government agency InvestHK said it was “happy to see Lioner choose Hong Kong as its regional base to offer its integrated financial services to clients in the region”.

Charles Ng, associate director-general of investment promotion at InvestHK, said: “The city has a prudent and robust financial regulatory regime with a well-educated workforce, and the absence of capital control makes it an ideal place for Lioner to operate and manage its business in the region.”

InvestHK set up a dedicated family office team earlier in the year, coinciding with the establishment of Lioner.
