Raffles Family Office has appointed Kevin King as managing director, head of Greater China.

With close to 20 years of experience working with numerous Chinese business founders, King will leverage his expertise and connections to provide a comprehensive range of wealth management capabilities, including global asset allocation, succession planning, and family office partnership.

Based in Hong Kong, he will report to RFO founder and group chief executive officer Chi-man Kwan.

“The vital role family offices play in mainland China, both as investment vehicles and investors, is resonating with undeniable influence. As a result of the nationwide emergence of a burgeoning number of ultra-high-net-worth families, these entities have the capacity to shape not only the legacy of the families but also exert a substantial impact on the broader economy,” King says.

Before joining RFO, King was market head for China at Deutsche Bank International Private Bank. Previously, he was head of wealth management, China market, at BNP Paribas. He also spent 10 years with Citi Private Bank, where he was global market manager for Southern China.

King graduated with a bachelor of business administration in accounting and finance (first class honours) from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2002.
