Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK) announced today (February 5) that it has assisted a licensed fintech company, EVIDENT Platform Services Limited (EVIDENT), to set up its global headquarters in Hong Kong, offering the world's first tokenised private limited partnership fund investing in the aviation sector, in partnership with Anisos Capital Group.
      
     The Associate Director-General of Investment Promotion, Mr Charles Ng, said, "We are happy to see that EVIDENT, an innovative fintech company, has chosen Hong Kong to set up its global headquarters. It shows confidence not only in Hong Kong's vibrant fintech ecosystem, but also our robust financial market prospects and regulatory regime."
      
     The Founder and CEO of EVIDENT Group, Dr Florian Spiegl, said, "Hong Kong stands as a preeminent international financial hub, continually drawing global investors. With its storied history of a strong legal foundation, government support for innovation, and an efficient tax regime, it also offers one of the most advanced digital assets licensing and regulatory frameworks. This city is the ideal setting for us to bridge the gap between issuers and investors through our innovative digital investment structures."
      
     He added, "Our vision is to pioneer the next generation of blockchain-based infrastructure for the asset management industry, specifically designed for managing and distributing alternative assets. We harness the power of asset tokenisation to amplify efficiency, transparency, and accessibility for investors. It is with great pride that, in collaboration with our valued partner, we introduce the world's first tokenised fund in the aviation sector, an asset class traditionally reserved for large institutional investors. This marks a significant milestone in the evolution of alternative asset investing for Hong Kong and for global markets."
      
       The CEO of Anisos Capital Group, Mr Steven Dominique Cheung, said, "This partnership isn't simply about tokenising assets; we're redefining investment in the aviation industry and setting out to revolutionise the world of aviation finance from Hong Kong. This is a unique opportunity for eligible investors to participate in a traditionally exclusive market."
      
     EVIDENT operates a digital investment platform for alternative assets and is licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission to carry out Type 1 (dealing in securities) regulated activities.
