According to a report from investment migration experts Henley & Partners, there was a roughly 25% increase in the number of HNWIs enquiring about citizenship-by-investment in 2020 as opposed to residence-by-investment programs since the coronavirus pandemic first surfaced, indicating that many wealthy international investors are considering a more permanent change of location for themselves and their families. Henley & Partners also reported an unprecedented surge in enquiries from citizens of highly developed countries such as Canada, the UK, and the US compared to historical levels, along with noticeable shifts in its clientele’s priorities. For Asia’s wealth management industry, which works closely with investment migration experts such as Henley, amongst others, it is vital to keep on top of these trends, and to track the arrival of new potential clients to the region, as well as to monitor the potential partial or complete relocation of key clients to other locations around the globe.
Hubbis hosted a discussion amongst wealth management leaders, lawyers, consultants and investment migration experts on June 24, aiming to track the key developments taking place since the pandemic hit and what it has meant for an investment migration industry that has for many years been expanding apace, and also what it means for the wealth management industry and their clients in the Asia Pacific region. There is no doubt that the volume of residence-by-investment and citizenship-by-investment keep increasing and that this is therefore a standard consideration for any international HNWIs and UHNWIs and their families who are looking to hedge volatility, create short term value as well as long term yield through enhanced global mobility.
