is expanding its network to Singapore with the establishment of a new entity there to strengthen its commitment to servicing high net worth (HNW) clients in the region.

The move aligns with the group’s goal of enhancing its footprint in Asia, following a successful launch in Hong Kong less than a year ago.

Lioner says it is a pioneer three-in-one solution, covering insurance, trust and family office advisory services. Using the advantages of its flexible partnership model and talent pools in Hong Kong and Singapore, Lioner’s Singapore business will allow the group to broaden its coverage to the Southeast Asia market on insurance solutions and the needs of HNW clients, the firm said.

“We are looking forward to working on this Singapore project less than a year after our Hong Kong launch,” Andrew Chan, partner of Lioner, responsible for leading and managing business in the region, said. “Many HNW families are facing significant business succession needs and challenges,” he added.

Singapore possesses many advantages for family offices and wealth management companies, including favourable government policies and a world-class legal and governance environment, the firm explained.

Last year, Singapore’s Wealth Management Institute launched the Global-Asia Family Office Circle, designed to provide more support for the sector’s growth. The expansion plan, together with the advantages of Singapore’s financial infrastructure, has allowed Lioner’s Singapore office to offer more effective cross-border support to Asian communities, more efficient consultancy services and bring a wide spectrum of global solutions to clients.

Lioner International Group is an integrated insurance, trust and family office consortium, founded by ethnic Chinese partners, offering services for ultra-HNW and HNW individuals, families and businesses.
