“We’ve long recognized Asia’s growing significance in the world of wealth management, and establishing a strong presence here is both timely and essential,” said Jonathan Harrington, CEO of Artemis Family Office, during the firm’s announcement of its expansion into Singapore this week. The move marks the London-based family office’s first foray into Asia, underscoring the region’s increasing importance for global high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and multi-generational wealth strategies.
Artemis Family Office, known for its bespoke wealth structuring and multi-asset investment solutions, has consistently catered to ultra-high-net-worth families across Europe and the Middle East since its founding in 2004. The Singapore expansion reflects a deliberate effort to tap into Asia’s burgeoning wealth corridors, driven by rapid economic growth and the rise of second-generation wealth holders seeking sophisticated financial stewardship. With its robust regulatory environment and reputation as a gateway to broader Asian markets, Singapore was the natural choice for Artemis’ first Asian hub.
The firm’s newly established Singapore office will focus on delivering its signature family governance advisory, intergenerational wealth planning, and cross-border tax optimization services. Artemis is also set to collaborate with local institutional partners to tailor its offerings to the unique cultural and regulatory nuances of the region. This move comes at a time when Asian HNWIs are increasingly diversifying their wealth across jurisdictions and exploring options for international residency and citizenship—a trend that Artemis is well-positioned to address.
“Singapore offers an unparalleled ecosystem for family offices, from its tax incentives to its deep pool of financial talent,” Harrington added. “But more importantly, it’s a jurisdiction that aligns with our clients’ expectations for transparency, stability, and long-term value creation.”
The expansion is also expected to have ripple effects across Artemis’ global operations. By bridging its European expertise with Asia’s dynamic wealth landscape, the firm aims to create a more integrated platform for its clients, many of whom already have significant investments and familial ties in both regions. This cross-continental approach not only strengthens Artemis’ competitive edge but also reinforces Singapore’s position as a global nexus for wealth management.
As Artemis builds its Singapore team, it has also announced the appointment of Mei Lin Tan as Managing Director of Asian Operations. Tan, a veteran in private banking and wealth advisory with over 20 years of experience in HSBC Private Bank and Credit Suisse, will spearhead the firm’s efforts to cultivate client relationships and expand its footprint. Her appointment is seen as a strategic move to ensure that Artemis’ services resonate with the complexities of Asian family wealth.
In closing, Harrington emphasized the firm’s long-term vision for the region: “This is not just an expansion—it’s a commitment. We’re here to be a trusted partner for families in Asia, helping them navigate the nuances of wealth preservation and legacy building in an increasingly globalized world.”
Artemis’ entrance into Singapore signals a broader trend of international family offices eyeing Asia as a key growth market, cementing the region’s status as a focal point for global wealth management in the decades to come.
