We’re pleased to partner with Bordier & CIE for an exclusive panel discussion and networking event exploring the enduring appeal of alternative assets.

The event will be led by Yiow Chong Tan, Director – South East Asia, Jersey Finance.

The most treasured possessions are often valued not for what they cost but for what they represent. During the panel discussion, guests will explore the enduring appeal of passion assets and the role that rarity, heritage, craftsmanship and personal meaning play in shaping value. From fine whiskies to gemstones and precious metals, guests will learn what transforms an object into a lasting source of enjoyment, identity and legacy.

Joining the panel will be:

  • James Ting, Head of Private Clients, South East Asia, William Grant & Sons
  • David J. Mitchell, Founder and Non-Executive Director, Indigo Precious Metals Group
  • Richa Goyal, Luxury Journalist and Author

Following the panel discussion, guests will have the opportunity to continue the conversation at a networking reception.
