Family Office has partnered with fintech firm Canopy, according to media
reports. This latest deal adds to Canopy’s
agreement with Credit Suisse last year.
The MFO – which despite its name is based in Hong Kong rather
than Singapore - will be able to provide automated account
aggregation and data analytics to clients and managers, reports
said.
WealthBriefingAsia has contacted Canopy for further
details and may update in due course. It was unable to obtain
comment from Raffles Family Office at the time of going to
press.
Raffles Family Office was also incorporated in Singapore last
October. The MFO was founded by Chi Man Kwan, who is its chief
executive. According to his public profile, the organisation was
founded in July 2016. Prior to this, Chi Man Kwan worked at BNP
Paribas in Hong Kong.
A report published at the end of January this year, and published
on the MFO’s website, said that it expects to boost AuM to $10
billion and double its headcount over the next two years. The
organisation is an example of how family office structures are
evolving in Asia, a region which until recently was a young
market for such entities. At present, Raffles Family Office
oversees about $1.5 billion of AuM.
