Asia’s Premier International Financial Hub
Wealth Management in An Age of Transparency

With increasingly stricter and more complex regulations, tax transparency is the new name of the game. This brings about additional considerations for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) in their wealth management planning. Similarly, there is also heavier pressure on legal professionals and intermediaries to effectively advise clients on regulatory compliance with minimal impediment to clients’ objective of optimal return on investments.

Presentations at this talk will provide an overview and update on the implementation of the Common Reporting Standard in a global and Malaysian context, as well as the Mandatory Disclosure Rules that apply to various offshore institutions. There will also be discussions on private client foundations as the emerging wealth planning solution for HNWIs, by comparing and contrasting their legal framework to other planning structures.
