Hong Kong, as one of the three major international financial centers in the world, is welcoming high-net-worth individuals globally with more open and precise policy stances.
Since the relaunch of the "New Capital Investor Entry Scheme" in March 2024, it has continuously attracted global high-net-worth individuals and capital inflow into Hong Kong. As of the end of February 2026, the Investment Promotion Agency has received nearly 3,200 applications, which is expected to bring approximately HKD 95 billion in investment to Hong Kong.
This data not only reflects international capital's confidence in Hong Kong but also sends a clear signal: Hong Kong remains an important hub for global capital allocation.
Market Response to the New Program:
Reflection of Confidence and Trends
The Investment Promotion Agency of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region indicates that the applicants of the new program bring not only capital inflow but also:
• Consumption stimulation in sectors such as real estate, dining, retail, education, and life services
• Continued investment support for innovation and technology industries
• Long-term demand for local professional services (law firms, accounting firms, family offices, etc.)
This means—Hong Kong not only absorbs capital but also forms a dynamic ecosystem linking capital and industry.
As Hong Kong continues to strengthen its position as an innovation and technology hub in Asia, the new program has also become an important entry point for capital participation in technological innovation and industrial upgrading.
Why are more and more families choosing Hong Kong identity?

Family Asset Inheritance Planning: Hong Kong's mature financial system and family office ecosystem facilitate cross-border asset allocation and wealth inheritance planning.
Tax and Business Environment Advantages: Low tax rates, a simple tax system, and a highly transparent regulatory framework provide a stable operating environment for entrepreneurs and investors.

From "Capital Inflow" to "Identity Value" Leap
The "New Capital Investor Entry Scheme" in Hong Kong is not just an investment program, but also a strategic layout for identity.
In the context of increasingly rational global identity planning trends, high-net-worth families are paying more attention to:
• Long-term stability of identity
• Flexibility of asset allocation
• Educational opportunities for children and access to international resources
• Sustainable development for the family's future
Hong Kong provides just such a balance.
If you are interested in obtaining Hong Kong identity, you can apply through the New Capital Investor Entry Scheme.
