WRISE Hosts Hong Kong Forum on Tariffs, Crypto, AI

Singapore-based multi-family office WRISE hosted a recent forum in Hong Kong that spoke about various topics, including the impact of the latest US tariff policies.

WRISE hosted its inaugural «New Wealth Landscape Forum» in Hong Kong on October 11, according to a statement. The event saw 400 participants, including industry experts from Sunlife, EFG Bank, JP Morgan Asset Management, Nomura Asset Management, Barings Asset Management, Amber Premium, Belleview Research, CUHK and Deloitte.

Topics covered include the impact of US President Donald Trump’s latest tariff policies on markets, trends in digital assets and artificial intelligence, and growth opportunities in Asia Pacific, including Hong Kong as a wealth hub and Japanese equities.

«The year we have seen significant market uncertainty. Trump's announcement of further tariffs on China yesterday triggered a decline in the US market, serving as an example of recurring market volatility. The inaugural 'New Wealth Landscape Forum' comes at a critical time, aiming to provide investors with directions to today's turbulent markets,» remarked WRISE group executive chairman Derrick Tan.

«Hong Kong's unwavering energy, creativity, and strong ties with Chinese Mainland make it the ideal location for this independent forum.»
