Wealthy Chinese investors are rushing to invest in offshore assets through Hong Kong, seeking to diversify their investments and protect their wealth amid a downturn in China's economy and property sector.

As a result, Hong Kong is experiencing a surge in wealth inflows, benefiting financial firms and solidifying its status as a wealth hub competing with Singapore. Hong Kong's offering of high interest rates and investment opportunities are attracting not only mass affluent individuals but also ultra-rich clients from China and Southeast Asia, driving a significant increase in new account openings and inquiries about setting up family offices in the city.
