Read - https://lnkd.in/dzdCSKVQ follow Caproasia | Driving the future of Asia Manulife has launched the first Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) Robo-Advisor portal for Manulife MPF members to access portfolio education platform, asset class recommendations & fund advice. The Manulife MPF Robo-Advisor portal is launched in partnership with wealth & investment platforms AutoML Capital & Syfe. Jeanie Ho, Head of Hong Kong and Macau Retirement, Manulife: “According to our latest member survey, 71% of our members indicated they have difficulty in managing their MPF investments, while over half (53%) said they lack sufficient knowledge in portfolio management. Our new robotic advisory portal is designed to address this pain-point and is easily accessible via both desktop and mobile devices. Manulife’s MPF contribution members who are digitally enabled will first be invited to experience this user-friendly portal during the 4-month pilot and more members will be able to enjoy this tool in the coming phases." Kevin Li, General Manager & Head of Syfe Hong Kong: “Hong Kong has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, but most people are not saving enough for their retirement. One of the barriers that HongKongers have faced is difficulty in selecting funds when they construct their MPF portfolios. The platform we developed in partnership with Manulife addresses this problem by recommending a single portfolio that may be most suited to each user’s unique situation." Rebecca Lim, CFA, CEO, AutoML Capital: “At AutoML, we are enthusiastic in empowering investors in Hong Kong through digital innovation. With the ML Brain, we exemplify how continuous learning and adaptation by an AI engine can help revolutionize asset allocation strategies.

By providing tools that demystify the complexities of financial planning, we trust we could demonstrate how technology can enrich investment strategies and foster a more informed, empowered investor community."

- Lai Chong AU In the complexity of family businesses, the transition to the next generation often proves to be a formidable challenge. What was once a thriving enterprise built on the sweat and sacrifice of the founding generation can encounter rough waters when attempting to pass the baton to their successors. One of the primary hurdles faced by the next generation in taking on the family business is the weight of expectations. The pressure to uphold a legacy, maintain profitability, and steer the company toward continued success can be overwhelming. Balancing these expectations with personal aspirations and the desire to carve out one's own path can create internal conflict, leading to uncertainty and hesitation. Moreover, the evolving landscape of industries and markets adds another layer of complexity. The next generation may find themselves grappling with changing consumer preferences, technological advancements, and global competition, requiring adaptability and innovation to keep the business relevant and competitive. Communication breakdowns within the family can also impede the smooth transition of leadership. Misaligned visions, differing management styles, and unresolved conflicts can create rifts that hinder effective collaboration and decision-making. Building trust, fostering open dialogue, and establishing clear roles and responsibilities are essential in bridging these gaps and fostering a harmonious working relationship. In some cases, the lack of adequate preparation and mentorship can pose a significant challenge. Succession planning is a thorough process that entails grooming future leaders, imparting knowledge and skills, and instilling a sense of ownership and commitment. Without proper guidance and training, the next generation may struggle to assume leadership roles with confidence and competence. Furthermore, external factors such as economic downturns, regulatory changes, and unforeseen crises can further complicate the transition process. Navigating these uncertainties requires resilience, strategic foresight, and a willingness to adapt to dynamic circumstances. Despite these challenges, successful transitions in family businesses are not only feasible but also essential for long-term sustainability. Embracing open communication, fostering a culture of innovation, investing in continuous learning and development, and seeking external guidance can help pave the way for a smooth and successful handover to the next generation. Ultimately, the journey of succession in family businesses is a delicate dance between tradition and innovation, legacy and evolution. By addressing the underlying challenges and proactively preparing the next generation for leadership, family businesses can chart a course toward continued prosperity and longevity in an ever-changing business landscape. #FamilyBusiness #SuccessionPlanning #NextGeneration #Leadership #Innovation
- Koha Digital - Conventional and Islamic INFORMATIVE WEBINAR ON RETIREMENT AND ESTATE PLANNING Koha and licensed financial planner Annie Wong (https://buff.ly/4cbMH8m) recently hosted a successful joint webinar attended by over 200 participants. The session covered crucial topics such as the importance of retirement planning, calculating how much money is needed for retirement, and effective estate planning. Annie Wong highlighted the need for early retirement planning and provided practical advice on determining retirement savings based on individual goals and lifestyles. She cited statistics from the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) in Malaysia, noting that 1 in 4 Malaysians exhaust their EPF savings within five years of reaching the withdrawal age. Wong emphasized the EPF’s minimum Basic Savings target of RM240,000 by age 55, contrasting it with the reality that over half of EPF members aged 50 to 54 have less than RM50,000 saved up. The event concluded with an interactive Q&A session, where attendees received personalized advice from Wong and the Koha team. This webinar underscored the importance of proactive financial planning for long-term security and peace of mind. About Koha: Koha is a next-gen fintech platform for legacy planning. Our comprehensive solution fosters trust and engages people throughout their life journey by providing integrated education sharing, innovative personal financial health and legacy planning, charitable distribution of wealth after death, and personalised video or letter messages to their loved ones. Our goals are to encourage everyone to plan their legacy for the inevitable event with ease and clarity, to maintain family harmony, and to encourage charitable giving to social causes.
