What's the Next Big Trend and Key Areas of Focus?
Opportunities always look for individuals ready to seize them. In the coming decades, the key areas of focus lay on education, retirement, and one-stop financial planning. Learn more to get a head start on your career.
Education Fund Planning
With more jobs these days requiring certificates and qualifications, it’s not hard to imagine that parents will try as much to support the best education for their children, even when tuition fees are going up every year worldwide. The importance of education fund planning becomes apparent to parents.
Retirement Planning
It is estimated that by 2069, one in every three persons in Hong Kong will be over age 65. As society and the economy shift, relying on offspring to help fund retirement is no longer a viable plan as it once used to be. With old age allowance and benefits not quite there to cover up all living expenses after retirement, ensuring that one can support their retirement lifestyle becomes crucial. A comprehensive retirement planning solution is growing in demand in the market.
One-stop Life Planning
We all long for a comfortable life and even a better lifestyle. But to some extent, it is related to the financial well-being of the person. Life Planning was never formally introduced at school. There is a huge market for financial planning advice.
Competition for local university places
is fierce; while studying abroad can be
an alternative, the tuition fees and
living expenses can stack up high. Take
a look at the annual costs of studying
abroad in some popular destinations, and
you will see why planning for an
education fund early on is necessary.

Living Expenses Studying Abroad
Country | Average Cost (HK$/year) |
Australia | $283k - 449k |
New Zealand | $240k - 427k |
The United State | $364k - 520k |
Canada | $263k - 504k |

The population aging rate will
significantly accelerate in the next 20
years, and the percentage of population
aged 65 and over will gradually increase
from 20.8% in 2023 to 35% in 2069.
Facing
the inflationary pressure and the
current low interest rates, the demand
for comprehensive retirement planning
solutions in the market is increasing
correspondingly.
