Sources: 9. Developments: 2. Wealth management and philanthropic activity in Asia are showing significant growth and structural shifts. In the Asia-Pacific region, family offices are increasingly adopting ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and systemic impact investment strategies. The proportion of these offices allocating more than half of their portfolios to such strategies rose from 17% in 2025 to 27% in 2026, with a focus on sectors like healthcare, new energy, and water sanitation. Concurrently, philanthropic giving across Asia is projected to reach US$1.5 trillion over the next decade. Much of this activity is driven by first- or second-generation wealth holders who maintain control over their family businesses. In Hong Kong, charitable contributions from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust represented approximately 1.8 percent of the city’s GDP during the 2024-25 financial year. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-07: Asian philanthropic giving projected to reach US$1.5 trillion Philanthropic giving in nine Asian jurisdictions is projected to reach US$1.5 trillion over the next decade as wealthy families increasingly integrate business ownership with charitable impact. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/asian-philanthropic-giving-projected-to-reach-us15-trillion ### 2026-08-25: Asia-Pacific family offices increase systemic impact and ESG investments Asia-Pacific family offices are increasingly adopting systemic ESG and impact investing, with 27% now allocating over half their portfolios to these strategies, according to a Sustainable Finance Initiative. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sustainable-finance-initiative-survey-shows-rising-family-office-impact-investing --- Cite as: Asia-Pacific wealth management and philanthropy trends.
