It was an absolute pleasure to co-host with DBS Bank today a roundtable session in Mandarin - ‘Navigating the New Wealth Paradigm - 探索新财富范式’. We had speakers joining us in person from China, Dubai and Singapore (including our very own Kylie Luo from BDO Singapore), sharing their insights and perspectives in light of the UK tax rules announced in the Autumn Budget.  Considering the implications and/or options in relation to these UK tax changes, mobility, PRC tax rules, Singapore/HK Family Offices and wealth planning strategies - there is clearly a lot that families have had to think about in the past months.  With these complexities coupled with the uniqueness of each family, the navigation of these rules will continue to evolve in the months to come. Many thanks to our panel of speakers: Paul Ayres, Jingru Liu, Kylie Luo, Joseph Poon, Woon Shiu Lee, Yat Wan Yeung, Dominic Volek, Hengka (Henry) Ji BDO UK LLP in partnership with DBS Bank, Henley & Partners - The Firm of Global Citizens®, Zhong Lun Law Firm #PrivateWealth #Globalwealth #Asiadesk
