Thomas Buberl, Chief Executive Officer of AXA Group, said, “The global wealth landscape is undergoing a massive structural shift, with high-net-worth business growing faster than ever in Asia. It was a natural move for AXA Group to establish AXA Global Private’s strategic base in Hong Kong, leveraging its status as the world’s largest offshore wealth hub. This is a unified platform specifically designed to meet sophisticated, multi-market needs with bespoke solutions, bringing our proven European expertise to Asia to offer customers direct access to curated wealth solutions and diversified asset allocation, including high-quality European assets.”
Sally Wan, CEO of AXA Greater China and AXA Global Private, said, “A new generation of high-net-worth families in Asia are looking for integrated, multi-jurisdictional solutions to protect both their wealth and legacy over the long term. AXA Global Private brings together wealth planning, lifestyle protection, and multi-jurisdictional expertise through our hubs in Hong Kong and Bermuda. Our offering spans life, wealth, and health protection, alongside specialist cover for valuable assets, and we are fully committed to building this into a leading platform across the region.”
Additionally, the Group warmly invited world-renowned fashion designer, Professor Jimmy Choo, OBE, to share his insights on success and timeless legacy.
Professor Jimmy Choo, OBE, said, “True success isn’t measured by recognition, but by the mastery of your craft and the long-term trust you earn from your customers. It’s about dedication, patience, and integrity—building enduring relationships and a legacy that outlasts passing trends. For me, legacy is crafted detail by detail, through perseverance, a relentless commitment to excellence, and an absolute dedication to the people who place their trust in your work.”
