Raffles Family Office ( RFO ) has launched its first digital asset fund in Hong Kong amid growing demand for institutional-grade digital asset solutions managed within a family office structure.

The move comes after the group’s flagship company, Raffles Assets Management ( HK ) Co Limited ( RAMHK ), received consent from the Securities and Futures Commission to its change in business plan in managing portfolios that invest in virtual assets.

Available to professional investors only, the open-ended fund seeks to provide actively managed exposure and dynamic allocation to top liquid cryptocurrencies with a focus on long-term portfolio growth through diversification, tactical flexibility, and professional oversight beyond single-asset strategies such as bitcoin exchange-traded funds ( ETFs ), RFO says.

“Clients have noticed the significance of digital assets in their asset allocation of wealth management but struggle to find the right manager,” says William Chow, deputy group CEO of RFO and responsible officer of RAMHK. “This fund comes at an opportune time that meets clients’ underserved needs for a professional partner to manage their crypto assets – whether they are crypto natives or traditional finance investors looking for exposure to digital assets.”

Offered in US dollar, the fund integrates with RAMHK’s broader investment platform – as well as clients’ holistic wealth and succession plans – so that their digital asset holdings are positioned for long-term growth, security, and generational transfer.

“The fund also reflects our long-term conviction in digital assets as an essential part of wealth portfolios,” William adds. “We see digital assets as a strategic asset class that will play a lasting role in wealth preservation and growth.”
