Leo Wealth Deploys Ocean Link Capital for 3-City Asian Expansion

2 articles · Updated · Hubbis · Jul 29

Summary

  • Ocean Link’s minority investment is being kept entirely inside Leo Wealth to fund Asian growth, with the firm now expanding across Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore after separating its US and non-US businesses.
  • The new capital is targeted at senior hiring, technology and investment infrastructure, while Leo Wealth also builds regulated capabilities rather than relying mainly on acquisitions.
  • Hong Kong is central to that push: Leo Wealth is seeking a Type 1 licence to add advisory services, and in Japan it is pursuing a securities licence for potential onshore wealth management.
  • The expansion supports a broader model built around cross-border tax, estate planning, family office support and portfolio management, aimed at entrepreneurial clients who often want a mix of discretionary and advisory mandates.
