The organisation operates in a number of jurisdictions, and very much part of a new-look style of wealth management proposition.

Asia-based WRISE Group has officially launched its WRISE Academy Office in Changsha, Hunan province, China.

This is WRISE Academy’s second location following the launch of its Shenzhen office in March this year.

The academy is an initiative of WRISE Prestige Hong Kong to nurture wealth management talents. So far, it has trained more than 100 undergraduates, graduates, and working professionals.

Almost half of its trainees have transitioned careers after a rigorous training process, evolving from independent financial advisors or entry-level professionals into independent wealth consultants, the group said in a statement this week.

Since its launch, WRISE Academy has hosted more than 40 seminars and thematic programmes in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The programme assembles more than 20 industry experts with an average of over 20 years of industry experience across core sectors including wealth management, securities, private equity, trusts, and family offices.
