中国资本流动最明显的领域之一是家族办公室，即为富人及其亲属设立的私人财富管理公司。 如果他们的住所在新加坡，则家族办公室有资格获得免税。 再加上这座城市的稳定性和全球知名的金融监管机构，基金的数量呈爆炸式增长。 随着新加坡金融管理局努力应对激增，批准需要几个月的时间。（One of the most obvious areas where this flow of Chinese capital can be seen is in family offices, the private wealth management firms set up for rich individuals and their relatives. If they are domiciled in Singapore, family offices qualify for tax exemptions. Coupled with the city’s stability and a globally respected financial regulator, the numbers of the funds have exploded. Approvals are taking months as the Monetary Authority of Singapore grapples with the surge.）
新加坡的家族办公室已从 2018 年的约 50 个增加到 2021 年底的 700 个，估计到 2022 年底这一数字将达到约 1,500 个。投资服务公司 IQ-EQ 估计约有 40% 是中国大陆人。（Singapore has gone from some 50 family offices in 2018 to 700 by the end of 2021 and lawyers and wealth management advisers estimate that number reached about 1,500 by the end of 2022. IQ-EQ, an investor services firm, estimates about 40 per cent of that total are mainland Chinese.）
其中许多家族办公室继续设立其他类型的结构，例如离岸基金。 根据新加坡会计机构的数据，作为 2020 年政府计划的一部分，旨在从竞争对手的低税收管辖区吸引资金而启动的投资基金数量已从 2021 年底的 470 家激增至 2022 年底的 776 家。 该工具被称为可变资本公司 (VCC)，旨在吸引那些传统上希望在开曼群岛等司法管辖区安置资产的人。（Many of those family offices go on to set up other types of structures such as offshore funds. The number of investment funds launched as part of a 2020 government scheme designed to lure money from rival low-tax jurisdictions has surged to 776 at the end of 2022 (from 470 at the end of 2021), according to figures from Singapore’s accounting authority. Called a Variable Capital Company (VCC), the vehicle is meant to attract those who traditionally looked to jurisdictions such as the Cayman Islands to house assets.）
这在房地产数据中得到了证实，该数据显示中国大陆在新加坡购买房产的两年强劲表现。 根据政府数据，中国公民在 2021 年购买了 1,738 套公寓，比 2019 年高出 50%，是 2012 年以来的最高水平。购买量略有下降，但 2022 年仍为 1,314 套的历史高位。（This is borne out in real estate data, which show two strong years of property purchases in Singapore by mainland Chinese. According to government data, Chinese citizens bought 1,738 flats in 2021, which was 50 per cent higher than in 2019 and the most since 2012. Purchases were slightly lower, but still a historically high 1,314 units in 2022.）
所有这一切使新加坡在全球处于令人羡慕的国际财富中心地位。 新加坡金融管理局的最新数据显示，2021 年资产管理流入量达到创纪录的 4,480 亿新元（合 3,390 亿美元），比上年增长 15.7%。 相比之下，根据香港证券及期货事务监察委员会的数据，2021 年香港用于资产管理的资金净流入为 15.14 亿港元（1,940 亿美元），而 2020 年为 13.79 万亿港元。（All of this together has put Singapore in an enviable position globally as an international wealth hub. A record S$448bn ($339bn) in asset management inflows was recorded in 2021, 15.7 per cent higher than the previous year, the latest data from the Monetary Authority of Singapore show. By comparison, net fund inflows in Hong Kong for asset management for 2021 was HK$1.514tn ($194bn), compared with HK$1.379tn in 2020, according to the city’s Securities and Futures Commission.）
