Kingston Lai

Founder

Asia Bankers Club is founded by Kingston Lai. Prior to the founding of Asia Bankers Club, Kingston was an Executive Director at Morgan Stanley Hong Kong where he oversaw institutional sales & distribution to financial institutions in South East Asia. He has been a seasoned investment banker for the past 12 years, has held similar roles at several other investment banks in London, Singapore, and most recently Hong Kong, building a comprehensive list of contacts along the way. Kingston graduated with First Class Honors in BSc. Accounting & Finance from London School of Economics (LSE).

Our founder recognized a need for diversification of investment products from the conventional financial instruments offered by banks and saw a gap in the market for such services. That resulted in the conceptualization of the Club, whereby bankers joined the niche community dedicated to the identification, curation, and management of short and long term physical assets that provided value returns for a variety of investment appetites. The Club has a growing member base in Asia and offers physical asset investment opportunities to the members, overseas properties in particular, among other collectibles. Headquartered in Hong Kong with the regional offices covering Asia in Vietnam and Bangkok, Asia Bankers Club has partnered with a myriad of international partners and developers ranging from Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, United Kingdom, United States, Australia and Europe.
