Masterclasses
AI, Innovation and
Investment Implications
MASTERCLASS 1
China’s Deep Tech Rise: AI, Innovation and Investment Implications
China is rapidly advancing in AI and deep technology, reshaping innovation across industries. This masterclass explores how breakthroughs in areas such as large language models, robotics and digital infrastructure are driving China’s rise as a deep tech powerhouse and transforming its economic landscape. The session examines the global implications of this shift, including its impact on supply chains, competitive dynamics and capital flows, while highlighting key opportunities and risks for investors. Attendees will gain a concise, forward-looking perspective on how China’s deep tech evolution is unlocking new pathways to alpha in global portfolios.
Office Consultant Playbook
MASTERCLASS 2
THE NEXT-GENERATION FAMILY OFFICE CONSULTANT PLAYBOOK
Most client advisors enter this field with strong credentials and technical expertise, yet few are fully prepared for the realities of practice. They face conflicting priorities within the family setting, must build trust before securing a mandate, and need to know when to speak up and when to remain silent. This masterclass addresses these challenges through a practical and structured approach. It guides practitioners from self-awareness to client engagement, proposal writing, navigating family dynamics and long-term practice planning. Every session is based on a real case drawn from active practice, providing practical insights that can be applied immediately.
Integrating Structure,
Governance
and Daily Operations
MASTERCLASS 3
THE SFO OPERATING SYSTEM: INTEGRATING STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND DAILY OPERATIONS
A successful Singapore family office is a complex ecosystem, not just a legal entity. It requires a robust operating system in which the tax and regulatory environment, the core governance and trust architecture, and the day-to-day operational realities are seamlessly integrated. This masterclass provides a blueprint for building such a system. It begins by navigating the latest Singapore regulatory and tax incentive updates alongside the evolving global landscape. Next, it explores the legal and governance core, demystifying Private Trust Companies (PTCs) and family charters. Finally, it delves into the day-to-day realities of a single family office, demonstrating how to translate complex advice into seamless execution, manage investments and keep the family engaged. Attendees will leave with practical insights and a structured approach to better integrating the structure, governance and operational functions of their family office.
Navigating Wealth, Values,
and Power
MASTERCLASS 4
FAMILY PHILANTHROPY: NAVIGATING WEALTH, VALUES, AND POWER
As Asian families commit increasing amounts of capital to philanthropy, the questions are no longer just about how to give, but who decides, what matters and why. Behind every philanthropic strategy lies a complex interplay of wealth, personal values and family dynamics, shaping decisions that are not always visible or openly discussed. These forces can align to create clarity and purpose or pull in very different directions. This masterclass moves beyond structures and frameworks to examine how these dynamics unfold in real family contexts, addressing differing generational perspectives on impact, tensions between legacy and evolving priorities, questions of control and voice, and the growing shift towards more strategic approaches to giving.
Navigating Concentration and Capturing Structural Growth
MASTERCLASS 5
CAPITAL FOR THE LONG TERM: NAVIGATING CONCENTRATION AND CAPTURING STRUCTURAL GROWTH
As family wealth transitions across generations and investment opportunities become increasingly concentrated in a small number of companies, sectors and geographies, families are re-examining how best to steward and grow their capital over the long term. At the same time, structural trends such as AI, digital transformation, demographic change and the energy transition are creating new opportunities and risks for investors. This masterclass explores how leading families are balancing preservation with growth, developing long-term investment conviction, and positioning capital to benefit from enduring structural trends while maintaining resilience across market cycles and generations. Participants will gain practical perspectives on navigating long-term structural change while building resilient investment portfolios.
Portfolio Construction
MASTERCLASS 6
AI AND THE FUTURE OF PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION
Artificial intelligence is reshaping portfolio construction and investment decision-making. This masterclass explores how AI is transforming asset allocation, risk management, alternative data analysis and market intelligence, enabling investors to process vast amounts of information, identify patterns and build more adaptive and resilient portfolios in an increasingly complex environment.
Participants will learn how AI can be applied across the investment process, from supporting the design of portfolio construction frameworks and stress-testing assumptions to evaluating investment decisions and uncovering new investment opportunities and sources of return, while maintaining appropriate human judgement, governance and long-term stewardship. The session will also address the associated risks and governance considerations.
