Please introduce yourself, your organisation and your role.
I am Christian Li, Founder and Group CEO of CKLB Fiduciary Group.
What does your organisation do, and how does it support family offices, wealth owners, institutional investors or the wider private capital community?
CKLB provides family office advice and support, including initial structuring advice and the management and administration of structures. Our services include trusts and trustee services, corporate administration, accounting and compliance, the establishment and administration of investment funds, and outsourcing services.
What are the biggest opportunities and challenges currently shaping your sector?
The biggest opportunities include emerging markets worldwide, the continued increase in high-net-worth individuals and regional economic development. One of the main challenges is the increasing burden of unnecessary regulation from governments.
What trends do you believe will have the greatest impact on private wealth and private capital over the next five to ten years?
The direction of the world economy, particularly as it is shaped by the geopolitical environment.
“Ensure adequate protection of assets whilst remaining flexible and mobile.”
What expertise or perspective are you looking forward to bringing to discussions at the UK Family Office Summit Oxford?
I am open to contributing on matters relating to family office support, particularly from the perspective of the jurisdictions in which we operate.
What advice would you offer family offices, wealth owners or investors navigating today's rapidly changing environment?
Ensure adequate protection of assets whilst remaining flexible and mobile.
