Residency and Citizenship – Key Trends
Thursday 11th April, 2024 - 3.00pm - 4.00pm HKT/SGT
The global market for alternative residence and citizenship continues to thrive. This is driven by wealthy private investors who prioritize personal, family, and estate planning. They seek greater diversification and optionality in response to recent uncertainties.
As we forge ever-deeper into 2024, the residency and citizenship industry is continuing to expand. And notably, demand is evolving. Historically, it came from emerging countries with weaker passports, but now, even wealthy clients in the US are showing remarkable interest. These ultra-wealthy individuals sometimes build a portfolio of residence and citizenship alternatives simply in preparation for the unforeseen – be it economic, social-political, family or lifestyle, the diverse array of motivators is matched by the numerous opportunities and schemes that clients may wish to explore. The Middle East is no longer just an exit point; it's opening up for inward migration due to liberalization and economic diversification. Demand is also emerging from Asia, including Singapore and Hong Kong.
Singapore's market for inward migration of wealthy clients, often establishing large single-family offices, remains robust. However, it has become more exclusive to the ultra-rich due to the high cost of living. Hong Kong is a source of outward demand as locals seek alternatives outside China's influence. Emerging markets in Asia, like the Philippines, Indonesia, India, and Vietnam, continue to generate strong demand. Clients are exploring opportunities in Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Australia/New Zealand.
The Hubbis Digital Dialogue event on April 11th will analyse these trends in Asia and the Middle East, both for inward and outward-bound clients. Our panel of experts will discuss existing and upcoming opportunities for alternative residence and citizenship through investment worldwide.
Key Questions:
- What are the emerging global mobility and investment migration trends in the past year?
- Where is the current demand coming from compared to historical trends?
- Is Asia a source of outward or inward activity, or both, and why?
- Which countries in Asia Pacific have the greatest and growing client demand, and why?
- Which countries are launching new programs, and which have stopped existing programs?
- How does the wealth management industry collaborate with the investment migration industry, and what are the advantages?
- How does investment migration align with estate and legacy planning?
- What considerations are essential for making the right investment migration decisions and achieving desired results?
- Which jurisdictions around the world are offering the most appealing residence- or citizenship-by-investment options today?
- How must does it all cost and how long does it all take?
- What information is required of clients and their families? What does the process entail? Is my data secure?
- The future regulation of investment migration industry in light of the OECD/FATF joint report: Misuse of Citizenship and Residency by Investment Programmes.
