“We are truly grateful for this recognition from Asian Private Banker. This is a crucial decision-making period and a critical window to manage the strategic asset allocation of our clients.
“Only by understanding the core characteristics of the new cycle can we make asset allocation decisions that are generally correct in direction. We propose an ‘anti-fragile’ wealth management solution that embodies the principle of ‘Building safety nets, stabilising fundamentals, aiming for growth.’
“The needs of Chinese high net worth clients who are preparing to go global are very different from those in the past. Only by learning from those who have gone before can we better understand and serve those who are starting their journey.”
What was behind the judges’ decision?
- Ark’s customised inheritance solutions further distinguish its service.

Additionally, its fee transparency and conflict-free advisory model align client and firm interests, fostering trust.
- Innovation is central to Ark’s strategy. The 2024 CIO Report underscores its thought leadership, advocating for megatrend investments and adaptive risk management amid volatile markets. Partnerships with institutions like Sun Life and a dual listing on the NYSE and HKEX further cement its credibility.
- By blending global reach, specialised expertise, and client-first innovation, Ark continues to lead China’s wealth management landscape, empowering clients to navigate complexity and achieve long-term growth.
What we said…
“Ark Group has solidified its position as China’s premier independent wealth manager through a combination of industry recognition, global expertise, and innovative client-centric solutions. The group’s success stems from its ability to cater to the evolving needs of Mandarin-speaking high net worth individuals seeking global diversification and wealth preservation,” said Twinkle Sparta, associate editor, Asian Private Banker.
“A key strength lies in the firm’s global expansion strategy, which leverages Hong Kong and Singapore as gateways to international markets while establishing subsidiaries in the US, Europe, Japan, and Australia.
“This network enables tailored services for Mandarin-speaking clients worldwide, with overseas revenue surging 28.9% year-on-year in Q3 2024 and contributing over 55% of total income. The firm’s diversified asset allocation – spanning stocks, bonds, and alternative assets such as private equity and venture capital – has driven strong performance, with overseas AUM reaching US$5.63 billion.
“For these reasons and more, APB is proud to award Ark Group the prize of Best Independent Wealth Manager – China. Congratulations on your success.”
