The NOAH's ARK Global Chinese Wealth Management and Inheritance Summit, held on August 1–2, 2025 in Singapore, the global headquarters of Noah Holdings, concluded as a resounding success. Nearly 600 legacy and new clients, along with ecosystem partners from around the world, gathered at our landmark event in the spirit of celebrating wisdom and trust.

This summit marked the first comprehensive unveiling of the brand's strategic vision and ecosystem to its global clientele. Participants also comprised an extraordinary roster of thought leaders, including academics, investors, family office leaders, senior executives from international asset management institutions, economists, and industry elites. Their discussions showcased exceptional intellectual depth and professional insight, underscoring the research prowess and global influence of the Noah ARK ecosystem.

Ms. Jingbo Wang, Founder and Chairwoman of Noah Holdings, made a special appearance at the event, while Mr. Wenqing Tan, CEO of ARK Wealth Management Singapore, opened as host. In his keynote address, Mr. Zander Yin, CEO of Noah Holdings, reflected on the company's globalization journey and outlined the core principles of wealth management.

Mr. Yin emphasized that for over two decades, Noah Holdings has been dedicated to serving global Chinese high-net-worth investors, managing over RMB 1 trillion in assets with a global team of more than 2,000 professionals. The company's competitive advantage lies in its rigorous selection of top-tier global managers and financial products. Discussing allocation strategies, he stated: "The primary goal of wealth management is to prioritize survival." He further elaborated on critical frameworks, including "the three essential lessons for global Chinese families" and "the five key factors for successful wealth management," offering forward-looking guidance and profound inspiration for wealth managers worldwide.

The Summit unveiled key insights from the Noah Holdings 2025 H2 CIO Report (10th edition), which generated significant enthusiasm. The report stated: "We are entering a new capital era driven by technology-led deflation." It introduced a transformative asset allocation paradigm that shifts from inflation-driven strategies to those that embrace technological deflation, enabling global Chinese investors to fortify their portfolios today and capture growth opportunities tomorrow. The report's highly insightful recommendations are not only grounded in Noah's extensive expertise in global macro research, industry trend analysis, and asset structure evolution, but are also informed by a disciplined global asset selection process and considerable cross-cycle allocation experience. Its insights, validated by market outcomes across multiple editions, continue to guide the future of global Chinese wealth management.

Danny Quah: The Future Economic Center Lies in GMT+8, Home to China and Singapore

Professor Danny Quah, Li Ka Shing Professor in Economics, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, provided a global macro perspective, with analysis into recent geopolitical restructuring and economic evolution dynamics. He noted that the global economy is becoming increasingly fragmented, with the erosion of a rule-based multilateral order defining our era. How do political-economic storms arise and persist? How should we respond? Professor Quah analyzed potential pathways toward more global collaboration and a new economic order.

·Eastward Economic Shift: 

Since the early 1990s, the global economic center has shifted from the Atlantic to East Asia, projected to settle in the GMT+8 time zone, home to China and Singapore, by 2045.

·Economic Fragmentation: 

The decline of globalization and multilateralism challenges traditional diversified investment strategies.

·New Global Order: 

Nations must collaborate proactively to counter fragmentation and build a more resilient economic framework.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb: Breakdowns Are Inevitable in Fragile Systems

Mr. Zander Yin delved into the concepts outlined in The Black Swan and Antifragile, stressing that in times of uncertainty, it's smarter to create antifragile systems that thrive on volatility rather than trying to predict rare events. This set the stage for the audience to explore the "world of risk." Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan and Antifragile, explored his systematic research and practice in risk management at the summit. Drawing on his journey from trader to world-renowned risk expert, he proposed the "barbell strategy" to empower investors to create robust, resilient asset structures in uncertain environments.

·The opposite of fragility is not resilience, but antifragility.

·Fragile systems falter under volatility, with losses compounding rapidly and non-linearly.

·People ask what thrives in uncertainty. The answer is that it's a process of elimination. 

·Breakdowns are inevitable in fragile systems.

The Summit featured multiple roundtable discussions focused on structural transformation and innovation-driven themes, including Investing Through Disruption: Positioning Portfolios for Growth in a New Tech Cycle, Cutting Through the Noise: Making Sense of Digital Assets in the Web3 Era, Alternative Assets, Unlocked: Navigating the Rules and Rationale for Allocation, and Singapore's Enabling Role: Feasible Pathways and Growth Opportunities for Global Expansion.
