Summary
Raffles Family Office Group announced the launch of its first full digital asset fund on April 15, 2025, through Raffles Assets Management (HK) Co. Limited (RAMHK), its flagship subsidiary. The fund launch follows regulatory approval from Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission, which granted consent for RAMHK to modify its business plan to manage portfolios investing in virtual assets. This regulatory milestone positions the fund as an institutionally sanctioned vehicle for digital asset exposure within Asia's family office ecosystem.
The fund is structured as an open-ended vehicle available exclusively to Professional Investors and offers actively managed exposure to top liquid cryptocurrencies. Unlike passive single-asset strategies such as Bitcoin ETFs, the fund emphasizes dynamic allocation, diversification, and tactical flexibility to achieve long-term portfolio growth. Denominated in US Dollar, the fund integrates seamlessly with RAMHK's broader investment platform, allowing clients to coordinate their digital asset holdings with comprehensive wealth management and succession planning strategies—a critical differentiator for family office clients managing multi-generational wealth transfer.
William Chow, Deputy Group CEO of Raffles Family Office and Responsible Officer of RAMHK, noted that the launch addresses a significant gap in the market. He stated that "clients have noticed the significance of digital asset in their asset allocation of wealth management but struggle to find the right manager," emphasizing that the fund serves both crypto-native investors and traditional finance professionals seeking professional exposure to digital assets. Chow added that the fund reflects RFO's long-term strategic conviction in digital assets as "an essential part of wealth portfolios" and "a strategic asset class that will play a lasting role in wealth preservation and growth."
The announcement underscores the institutional maturation of cryptocurrency and digital asset investment within Asia's family office sector, where demand for regulatory-compliant, professionally managed exposure continues to expand. By positioning digital assets within a comprehensive family office framework rather than as standalone investments, Raffles Family Office targets high-net-worth investors seeking both security and strategic asset allocation guidance in this evolving asset class.
