The latest moves, appointments and personnel changes in the Asia-Pacific wealth sector.

Asia’s Lioner International Group, a financial services organisation founded in Hong Kong in 2021, has appointed former HSBC private banking figure Andy Leung (pictured) as managing director in consultancy.

The appointment is effective immediately, the firm said in a statement this week. 

Leung, who has worked in the financial sector for almost two decades, specialises in consulting family businesses and ultra-high net worth clients across the region. 

Prior to joining Lioner, Leung was head of wealth planning at HSBC Private Banking for the Greater China markets. He holds double degrees in business administration and laws from the University of Hong Kong and is a qualified full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP).

“Andy’s extensive experience in global wealth planning and deep understanding of the UHNW sector strengthen Lioner’s capabilities,” Tony Chan, partner at Lioner, said. "His industry expertise and insights into Asia’s evolving wealth dynamics, coupled with strong relationships in the mainland Chinese market, enhance our ability to deliver exceptional, personalised solutions to high net worth clients while staying at the forefront of the industry.”

The business, which expanded into the Singapore market in 2022, also operates in Hong Kong, providing insurance, trust, and family office advisory services for high net worth clients. The organisation is an integrated insurance, trust and family office consortium, founded by ethnic Chinese partners. It opened a Beijing office in August 2023.
