Family offices need to invest with purpose and a sense of values if they are to secure a future for the next generation, according to the vice-chairman of one of Hong Kong’s biggest hotel groups.
“It is very important that [family offices] invest with purpose, and that we embrace purpose at the core of everything we do,” said Regal Hotels International vice-chairman Poman Lo.
She was speaking on a panel on Monday afternoon at the South China Morning Post’s inaugural Family Business Summit co-organised with Blue Pool Capital, with the support of UBS and Brand Hong Kong.
Attendees of the full-day conference at The Peninsula hotel comprised family-business owners and managers from Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States.
“We are here at the Family Business Summit, so I think values really matter,” said Lo, who is also the founding managing partner of sustainable technology fund Alpha Trio Capital.
“In life, the most important decisions, including marriage, are made with the heart. Investment decisions also,” said Lo.
