How SFO Index is built
SFO Index is an independent research directory and the first and only open-source index built to help grow and connect the family office community in Hong Kong. Every profile is compiled from public sources and cited — there is no paid placement, and no firm can buy a better position in search or filter results.
Identify
Firms are identified from InvestHK's family office network, Hong Kong Companies Registry filings, HKEX disclosures, trade press, and LinkedIn/professional-network mentions.
Verify
Each profile — structure, principal, AUM signal, sector focus and recent activity — is checked against at least one primary or reputable secondary source before publication.
Cite & update
Every entry links to its sources directly in the directory. Profiles are revisited and corrected as new disclosures, filings, or press coverage emerge.
Source policy
SFO Index favors, in order of priority: (1) firm-disclosed information from official websites and regulatory filings, (2) government and industry-body data such as InvestHK and Deloitte market studies, (3) HKEX and Companies Registry filings for public-market stakes and legal structure, and (4) reputable financial and trade press. Where a figure originates from a third-party commercial directory rather than firm disclosure — for example an AUM estimate from a data provider rather than a stated figure — the profile marks it explicitly as an estimate.
Hong Kong recorded 3,384 single family offices at end-2025, up 25% (681 offices) from roughly 2,700 at end-2023, with 1,095 managing US$100M or more in AUM, according to a Deloitte study commissioned by InvestHK (Deloitte, Bloomberg). SFO Index's Phase 1 directory of 64 profiled firms is a curated, sourced subset of this broader universe — not an exhaustive census.
Known data caveats
- Several profiled firms have no disclosed AUM figure; these are marked "Not disclosed" rather than estimated.
- Where an AUM figure is labeled as an estimate, it originates from a third-party commercial directory rather than the firm's own disclosure, and may not reflect current assets.
- Some firm names are shared by unrelated entities operating in other markets; only the Hong Kong-based entity described in each profile is in scope.
- Some figures describe reported public-equity exposure (e.g. from regulatory filings) rather than total disclosed AUM, and are labeled accordingly.
Verification ticks & ranking
Every profile carries a verification tag based on how many independent, non-firm-controlled sources corroborate it — press coverage, regulatory filings, or third-party professional databases. A firm's own website or LinkedIn page never counts toward its own score, since that is self-disclosure rather than outside corroboration.
- ✓✓ Multi-source verified — multiple independent sources corroborate the profile.
- ✓ Third-party referenced — exactly one independent source corroborates the profile.
- Primary sourcing only — no independent source found; the profile rests on the firm's own disclosure.
This tag is a sourcing-confidence signal, not a legitimacy score. Single family offices are, by design, often intentionally discreet — many operate with no press office and minimal public footprint. A "primary sourcing only" tag typically reflects that discretion rather than any doubt about the firm. The directory's default view sorts alphabetically; a "Most referenced" sort is available for anyone who wants to see the most independently documented firms first, and no firm receives placement outside this rule-based system.
Submit a firm or a correction
SFO Index is maintained as a living reference. If you represent a Hong Kong family office not yet listed, or you have a correction, updated figure, or additional source for an existing profile, use the form below with the firm name, the correction, and a link to a public source. It will be reviewed for the next update cycle.
Roadmap
Phase 1 covers Hong Kong. Later phases are planned to extend coverage to Singapore and other Asian family office hubs, subject to sourcing depth and demand.
