Dear Members and Visitors,
Welcome to The Hong Kong Trustees’ Association (HKTA)!
HKTA is a professional association for trust companies, businesses and individuals providing and supporting trust and fund-related services in Hong Kong.
As the Chairman, my goal is to convene industry leaders and make Hong Kong an international trust centre. Amid a challenging environment under COVID-19, I am glad to see that Hong Kong's trust industry has remained resilient and I look forward to seeing it grow and flourish, in tandem with the development of the Greater Bay Area, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and government-led initiatives.
HKTA’s missions are the bedrock to drive the industry forward, in which the executive committee/subcommittees and I are committed to:
- Represent the trust industry in promoting high standards of professionalism, corporate governance and regulatory compliance;
- Contribute towards advancing the status of Hong Kong trust professionals and that of the industry internationally;
- Represent the industry to the government, the media, local and international professional bodies and the public in promoting Hong Kong as an international trust and fiduciary services centre;
- Promote quality standards for the industry by the issuance of Best Practice Guides applicable to corporate trusts, pension schemes, private trusts and charitable trusts; and
- Contribute towards enhancing the education and knowledge of practitioners in the trust industry through relevant trust accreditation and training programmes.
To that end, there is a lot of work ahead and we will do our very best to bring value to our stakeholders and enhance the trust & fiduciary industry. We keep our ears open and hope to see more and more members jointhe HKTA family and contribute to the work of our association for the benefits of Hong Kong, our beneficiaries, investors and scheme members.
Stay well and keep safe!
Ka Shi Lau (劉嘉時)
Chairman
