Supporting every step of your family office recruitment journey
China’s family office landscape continues to expand, driven by rapid wealth creation, growing sophistication in cross-border investing and the rise of first-generation entrepreneurs building long-term structures for succession. Many Chinese family offices manage complex portfolios across domestic and international markets, which increases the need for talent with technical depth, cultural awareness and strong discretion.
