Paragon Capital Management has officially launched its first overseas office in Hong Kong after securing licenses from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) for Type 4 (advising on securities) and Type 9 (asset management) activities. The firm aims to leverage Hong Kong's status as a premier financial hub to expand its client base across North Asia and Southeast Asia, with the goal of providing a globalized platform for wealth management. CEO Arthur Fong emphasized the strategic importance of Hong Kong, highlighting its ranking as third in the Global Financial Centres Index and its potential for growth in the Greater Bay Area.
