About FOC

From our founding as Family Office Hub to our evolution into Family Office Circle — one mission, pursued with greater ambition.

Our Story

How We Got Here

Family Office Circle began in 2019 as 'Family Office Hub' — one of China's first dedicated platforms for the family office community. What started as a content-driven community has grown into a full-service membership organisation with three core pillars: network, advisory, and partner access.

In 2023 we relaunched as Family Office Circle, reflecting a broader ambition: to connect every participant in China's family office industry — principals, founders, investment professionals, institutions, and specialist advisors — within a single, trusted community.

We believe successful family enterprise stewardship requires more than financial expertise. It needs a community built on genuine relationships. That is what FOC exists to provide.
