Careful Choice

Leung notes that competition amongst financial planners has grown fierce. As more mainland Chinese enter Hong Kong and buy insurance products, many PRC institutions are establishing broker firms in Hong Kong to solicit business from these China clients.

“Moreover, local institutions such as banks and securities brokers also share the same insurance market, together with in-house agents of insurance companies and independent insurance brokers, those increasing the number of competitors. Clients should therefore carefully choose their financial planning advisors,” Leung says.
