Rainbow Hui

Senior Advisor

Rainbow is CEO & Founder of Jia@Family Office and is a woman with a very international background and experience. After her studies abroad, she lived in France in the late 1990’s before coming back to HONG KONG. Instead of looking for a job, she picked an entrepreneurial route and became an independent insurance agent for the AIA insurance company to build a personal, reliable, and family-like network of clients and partners who soon considered her as their trusted family adviser. 

Over the years, Rainbow took care of over 700 families and settled over 3000 claims on their behalf, thus creating a strong and very personal link with every one of them. In 2018, Rainbow decided to create a different type of family office – JIA@FAMILY OFFICE.  As a concierge-type of family office, JIA, of course, provides its high net worth clients with the usual family office services, from tax planning to wealth management and private equity investment. However, what really matters is JIA’s focus on family care, family governance and customized investments.
