Zhong Lun Partner Hengka (Henry) Ji Invited to Speak at the 2025 DBS Wealth Planning Symposium and 50th Anniversary of DBS Trustee Celebration
On May 23, 2025, DBS Bank held its annual Wealth Planning Symposium Navigating the Complexities, Challenges and Triumphs of Wealth Planning alongside the celebration of the 50th anniversary of DBS Trustee in Hong Kong. Zhong Lun Partner Hengka (Henry) Ji was invited as a keynote speaker to share his expertise and insights at this prestigious event.
As global economic conditions grow increasingly complex and uncertain, wealth planning has become more demanding than ever. High-net-worth individuals and families are increasingly required to not only properly manage cross-border assets and respond to changes in the regulatory environment, but also take into account various other factors such as family business succession, tax compliance, legal structure design, and intergenerational communication. Wealth planning has evolved into a systematic endeavor requiring integrated solutions across legal, financial, tax, and family governance.
In this context, a platform that brings together core resources in wealth planning across industries and across jurisdictions has become an ever vital engine for driving in-depth dialogues and cutting-edge thinking in the field. At this seminar, Mr. Ji joined discussions with many invitees from key jurisdictions including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada to exchange insights on cross-border wealth planning strategies. During the breakout sessions, Mr. Ji delivered two back-to-back bilingual keynote presentations on Multi-jurisdictional Wealth Planning, highlighting recent legal and tax developments in the Greater China region related to cross-border wealth planning. He also gave perceptive analysis of key issues involving the intersection of taxation, trust structuring, identity planning, etc. These presentations met with widespread enthusiasm and praise from the attendees.
