Why start with a Hong Kong Foreign Trust?
A Hong Kong Foreign Trust is a private, common-law trust that is not registered in any public database. It is an ideal first step for families who want offshore asset protection without the cost and complexity of traditional trust jurisdictions.
Not registered anywhere
There is no public trust registry in Hong Kong for foreign trusts. Your structure remains private and is not searchable by the public.
No reporting requirements
A properly structured Hong Kong Foreign Trust has no annual filing, no audit and no public reporting obligations.
Low cost, minimum admin
Avoid the heavy trustee fees and ongoing compliance costs common in other offshore centres. You pay for the trust, not the bureaucracy.
Offshore by design
Assets are held under a separate legal structure outside of your personal estate, creating a clean separation for succession and protection.
Appoint offshore trustees
Settlors may appoint their own independent offshore trustees, or we can introduce you to offshore trust management services that may act as trustees.
Stay off the revenue radar
If you remain the sole trustee and in control, local revenue services may still treat the assets as personal to you. Independent trusteeship strengthens the offshore position.
