KENNETH HO CROWNED OUTSTANDING WEALTH MANAGEMENT INDIVIDUAL AT THE WEALTHBRIEFINGASIA GREATER CHINA AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE 2020
Kenneth Ho, one of pioneers of wealth management in the Greater China region, and founder of one of Asia’s leading multi-family offices, Carret Private Capital Limited (“Carret Private”), has been crowned ‘Outstanding Individual’ at the Fifth Greater China WealthBriefingAsia Awards for Excellence 2020.
The award is testament to Mr. Ho’s years of commitment to grow and improve the wealth management industry in the region. In 2013, he co-founded Carret Private, one today’s fastest growing asset managers based in Hong Kong. Last year, he spearheaded the merger of Carret Private and Lumen Capital Investors, a leading family office in Singapore. In just over 5 years, Carret Private is now considered to be one of the pre-eminent players in the competitive Asian multi-family office industry.
Prior to Carret Private, Mr. Ho helped establish Bank Julius Baer’s presence in Asia. Apart from being a founding member, Mr. Ho was part of the executive board, responsible for building the bank’s investment platform.
Commenting on the award, Mr. Ho said: "I am delighted to be a recipient of such an accolade, bestowed by peers I highly respect. As one of the founders and Managing Partner of Carret Private, I must say that this award is testament to the hard work that my team and partners have put in over the past couple of years. Everyone has really pulled together to ensure we continue to deliver the highest level of service to our clients, and move us that bit closer to our goal of being recognised as the leading wealth manager in the Asian multi-family office space”.
ClearView Financial Media’s CEO, and Publisher of WealthBriefingAsia, Stephen Harris, was first to extend his congratulations to all the winners. He said: “The banks and other financial institutions which triumphed in these awards are all worthy winners, and I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations. These awards were judged solely on the basis of entrants’ submissions and their response to a number of specific questions, which had to be answered focusing on the client experience and not exclusively quantitative performance metrics. That is a unique, and I believe, compelling feature. These awards recognise the very best operators in the private client industry, with ‘independence’, ‘integrity’ and ‘genuine insight’ the watchwords of the judging process - such that the awards truly reflect excellence in wealth management.
