Company Overview
A specialist Hong Kong trust company focused on disciplined wealth structuring.
What Distinguishes the Firm
The firm combines trust administration with a Dealers in Precious Metals and Stones licence and close working relationships with licensed gold trading companies in Hong Kong, supporting secure storage and efficient handling of physical gold.
Our Mandate
Our objective is to protect and administer client wealth with professionalism, discretion and regulatory discipline, while providing structures appropriate for a more uncertain market environment.
Service Approach
Trust arrangements designed to hold and administer gold-related assets.
We assist clients in establishing trust structures and serve as trustee once those arrangements are in place. The settlor determines the purpose of the trust, the governing terms and the designated beneficiaries, after which assets may be settled into the structure for administration.
Where physical gold forms part of the trust assets, custody and execution support may be coordinated through our network of licensed gold trading counterparties in Hong Kong, subject to the agreed structure and relevant procedures.
Gold is widely regarded as a long-established store of value and is often considered by clients seeking portfolio resilience during periods of inflation, market stress or geopolitical uncertainty.
Preservation
Structured to support long-term wealth protection and orderly continuity planning.
Flexibility
Terms, beneficiaries and asset composition can be adapted to specific objectives.
How It Works
A clear process from establishment to ongoing administration.
01
Establish the trust structure
The settlor defines the purpose and terms of the trust, appoints HANTAP CO LIMITED as trustee and identifies the relevant beneficiary or beneficiaries.
02
Settle assets into the trust
Once established, the trust may receive cash or physical gold for administration in accordance with the trust terms. Storage, safekeeping and execution support may be arranged through appropriate counterparties where relevant.
03
Administer distributions
Distributions, including periodic income or realised proceeds from asset disposals, may be made to beneficiaries in accordance with the governing terms of the trust.
