At the opening of the forum, Lihong Xiong delivered remarks and pointed out that the past year was a critical stage for the continued deepening of the LPF regime and the ongoing growth of the ecosystem. The number of LPF registrations has grown steadily and has become an important fund structure for private equity, venture capital, real estate, and other alternative investments. HKLPFA has consistently played an active role as an industry platform, promoting system improvement, policy optimization, and high-quality industry development, helping Hong Kong consolidate its position as an international asset and wealth management center.
At the award ceremony, Joseph Chan, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, stated that since the LPF regime was launched, it has been widely welcomed by the industry. With nearly 1,500 registrations over five years, Hong Kong has become one of the world’s leading centers for asset and wealth management. The HKSAR Government has promoted industry development through multiple measures, including incorporating LPFs into the asset range under the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme, and proposing tax incentives for carried interest. Going forward, the Government will continue to work with the industry to drive the sustained development of the Hong Kong LPF market.
Robert Lee, Member of the Legislative Council (Financial Services), said that under the deepening of national strategies and financial opening, Hong Kong has unique advantages to strengthen its role as a capital hub, and the LPF industry has broad room for development. He also suggested that the HKSAR Government continue to optimize mechanisms, enhance coordination, attract institutions to set up operations to expand the ecosystem, and consolidate the hub position.
Dr. Yueheng Tan, National Committee CPPCC member and Member of the Legislative Council, shared his learning experience from the Two Sessions, summarizing the year’s macroeconomic policy and industrial directions for 2026 with “one objective, two orientations, three layouts, and four initiatives.” He stated that the country has strengths and confidence to achieve the goals, and that Hong Kong can seize opportunities to expand space for specialized services such as asset and wealth management.
This forum’s highlight— Hong Kong LPF Association 2025 Annual Awards—included nine award categories. The judging committee comprehensively assessed applicants across overall capability, performance, integrated service quality, management team capability, corporate influence and social responsibility, and corporate governance. In particular, the evaluation emphasized the number,AUM (asset under management), underlying investment and features of Hong Kong limited partnership funds managed/served by each institution,, as well as each institution’s contribution to promoting Hong Kong limited partnership funds.
After rigorous selection, 22 institutions emerged. Among them, GPTX簡坤投資 won the honor of “Hong Kong LPF Outstanding Virtual Asset Fund” as the only institution in this category, demonstrating strong industry recognition and highlighting the high caliber of this award.
Subsequently, a ceremony for authorizing HKLPFA’s Professional Committees was held. The establishment of three professional committees—Digital Finance, Technology and Innovation, Compliance & Risk Control—marks HKLPFA’s next step towards professional development and industry governance. These committees are expected to provide more professional guidance and support for the industry’s growth.
Jingjing Jiang, Permanent Honorary Chairman of HKLPFA then released the “2025 Annual Report of Hong Kong LPF”. The report indicated that the market response in the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme has been positive, the number of single-family offices has increased, and the LPF registrations have grown strongly. Compared with the number of private fund registrations in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands, a quiet industry “turning point” appears to be underway: new registrations of private funds in Hong Kong have continued to rise, and in 2025 the number has temporarily surpassed that of the Cayman Islands, with clear improvement in competitiveness.
Insights into recent macroeconomic trends and current affairs were shared by Mo Ji, Chief China Economist at DBS (Hong Kong) and Le Xia, Chief Economist for Asia at BBVA Research, offering attendees broader perspectives and deeper reflections.
GPTX簡坤投資 sincerely thanks the HKLPFA for hosting this event and presenting such a meaningful award. This not only recognizes GPTX簡坤投資’s past achievements, but also serves as motivation and impetus for the entire industry. Under the Association’s leadership, the Hong Kong LPF industry is moving toward greater professionalization, standardization, and internationalization.
Looking ahead, GPTX簡坤投資 will continue to deepen its focus on key areas. With professional investment capability at the core and product innovation as the driver, we will continuously optimize our product system and full-cycle investment layout, creating sustained value for investors.
