Cook Islands Finance, the government agency dedicated to promoting and advancing the financial services industry, is pleased to announce its role as a Bronze Sponsor for the highly anticipated 2024 STEP Asia Conference. The event will take place on 12-13 November in Singapore.
This year’s STEP Asia Conference will cover key topics for family planning strategies. Regional updates on trends and opportunities in Southeast Asia, China, and the Middle East will provide insights into tax transparency, economic substance, offshore jurisdictions, and compliance regulations and offers insights, tools, and business opportunities for client support. The conference is viewed as a must-attend event for leading practitioners, offering them the chance to gain valuable knowledge and network with peers from around the world.
“The STEP Asia Conference is well-known for attracting leading practitioners from around the globe, making it an ideal platform for the Cook Islands to engage with experts in the field of estate planning and wealth management.” Stated Tony Fe’ao, CEO of Cook Islands Finance.
“Asia, particularly Hong Kong and Singapore, remains a key marketing focus for Cook Islands Finance, where we aim to maintain a strong presence. The region’s growing number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) creates opportunities for the Cook Islands to offer its expertise in asset protection and trust management to an expanding client base.”
Reflecting on last year’s attendance, Fe’ao added, “STEP Asia 2023 provided a fantastic opportunity to showcase our financial services industry to a truly global audience. Wealth management professionals from Asia, the Pacific, Europe, USA, and the UK converge under one roof making it a worthwhile investment of time and resources.”
“We are excited to sponsor STEP Asia 2024 and look forward to the discussions and networking opportunities this year.”
The conference, which will be held at Marina Bay Sands, a landmark destination in the heart of Singapore’s vibrant city district, will also address essential family issues, such as asset protection during divorce, reserve powers of a trust, family diversity, succession laws, dispute management, and philanthropic endeavors.
