TOKYO, JAPAN - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 August 2026 - FGA Trust, a Hong Kong-based trust and corporate services provider licensed under Hong Kong’s Trust or Company Service Provider regime (TCSP Licence No. TC008341), today announced the establishment of its Tokyo Representative Office in Shibuya, Tokyo.
Japan Representative: Mone Ota
The Tokyo representative office will provide a locally accessible, Japanese-language point of contact for high-net-worth individuals, families, business owners and professional advisers seeking to understand cross-border trust and succession-planning considerations involving Hong Kong and other jurisdictions.
The representative office will focus on client liaison, preliminary needs assessment and coordination with FGA Trust’s Hong Kong team and, where appropriate, independent legal, tax and other professional advisers. All trust and corporate services are provided by FGA Trust’s Hong Kong licensed entity, subject to applicable laws, regulations, client onboarding, know-your-client and anti-money-laundering requirements, with the Tokyo representative office serving as a Japanese-language liaison and coordination point.
Enquiries coordinated through Tokyo may include succession planning, family governance, corporate trust arrangements, international asset administration, and administrative support relating to internationally held real and digital assets. Each matter is considered in light of the client’s family and business circumstances, asset locations and long-term objectives.
The Tokyo representative office will be led by Mone Ota, Japan Representative of FGA Trust. Based in Tokyo, Ms Ota will lead engagement with clients in Japan and serve as the liaison between Japan-based clients and FGA Trust’s Hong Kong trust and corporate services team.
Mone Ota, Japan Representative of FGA Trust, said: “Establishing a Tokyo representative office reflects FGA Trust’s long-term commitment to building relationships in Japan. Families and business owners are increasingly considering succession, business continuity and the administration of assets held across jurisdictions. Our role in Tokyo is to provide a clear local point of contact and connect clients with the appropriate Hong Kong team and professional advisers for their circumstances.”
According to the Bank of Japan’s Flow of Funds Accounts released on 25 June 2026, household financial assets in Japan stood at ¥2,386 trillion at the end of March 2026, an increase of 7.1% from a year earlier. Against this substantial asset base, business succession, international mobility and the growing diversity of asset types are increasing the importance of carefully planned governance and succession arrangements.
FGA Trust provides personal trust, corporate trust, family-office support and international asset-administration services through its Hong Kong licensed entity. Subject to applicable laws and onboarding requirements, the firm works with clients and their professional advisers to consider trust and corporate-service arrangements tailored to their family, business and asset circumstances.
