Background
Ms Kung, from Shanghai, applied with her husband and one child. She wanted to come to Hong Kong through CIES while allocating her assets well.
Main concern
She wasn’t sure how to divide the investment across permissible assets.
Our approach
We compared permissible assets — shares, bonds, funds and real estate — and balanced the allocation by risk and return.
Process and outcome
She received residence in about 12 months and extended as required.
Adviser’s comment
CIES is also an asset allocation decision, best planned around overall investment goals.
CIES application process
- Asset assessment (2–4 weeks): We review your proof of net assets and investment plan.
- Net asset assessment (Several months): Submit the application and pass the net asset assessment.
- Make the investments (Within the required period): Complete the permissible investments as required.
- Residence (After approval): Receive your visa and extend when the conditions are met.
