One of Hong Kong’s most illustrious business names establishes a UK based charity, inspired to better the lives of those Hong Kong citizens starting a new life in Britain
One of the most distinguished names in Hong Kong, esteemed entrepreneur and philanthropist, Mr William Je, has embarked upon a quest to help many of those 5.4 million eligible Hong Kong citizens seeking to relocate and set up residency in the UK.
Aptly named ‘The Hong Kong People Association’ the initiative is bountifully formed in the name of the people, for the people. As a UK resident, William understands first-hand the apprehensions and barriers in setting up a new life overseas.
William has acquired over 30 years of experience in corporate restructuring; M&A; IPO privatisation; private equity and hedge fund investments across mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan before establishing himself as the founder and CEO of a global fund management company with multi-billion-dollar assets under management. Prior to establishing the fund management business, William was formerly the Chairman of Equity Capital Markets for Macquarie Banking Group where he managed its Greater China capital markets and principal investment activities for over 10 years.
CEO for Hamilton Investment Management Ltd., William says: “The British government estimates that approximately 5.4 million Hong Kong residents will be eligible to apply for a special visa to reside in UK. This is the result of a new system introduced on 31 January 2021, under which Hong Kong British National (Overseas) (“BNO”) citizens and their close family members can apply to live, work and study in the UK for five years. After five years of residency, they will be eligible to apply for permanent residency and a further additional year in the UK will see them eligible to apply for British citizenship.”
“This sounds like a dream to many of my fellow Hongkongers, worried about the future for their families, and at a loss as to how to physically relocate to the UK where they face uncertainty and confusion over everything from employment, education, housing, and healthcare.”
“Hongkongers are undoubtedly some of the most skilled, conscientious and industrious people in the world. For those who choose to leave behind the uncertainty associated with the territory, the UK conserves an unrivalled Rule of Law.”
“As a cosmopolitan hub, the UK’s international reputation can be attributed in essence to its freedoms – freedom of speech; movement; association; assembly and religious beliefs as well as its freedom from arbitrary arrest. The objective of the Hong Kong People Association is to create a large support network of Hongkongers who can share experiences, information and guidance whilst retaining the core values and culture of Hong Kong.”
William has himself left Hong Kong and is now permanently based in London. Having graduated from the University of Wales and Manchester Business School (U.K.) with a Master of Business Administration, William is a fellow member of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants as well as the Hong Kong Institute of Chartered Accountants.
William’s current enterprise, Hamilton Investment Management Ltd. is a value-oriented investment management firm serving world-renowned institutional investors who invest in a broad spectrum of portfolios including private equity investments in licensed banks and financial institution, Fintech, social media projects and multi-strategy algorithmic trading funds.
William’s experience in finance is comprehensive, having served for several investment banks, including as the Head of Greater China at Credit Agricole Indosuez (“CAI”) and a Board member of CAI’s securities arm Indosuez W.I. Carr Securities; Director and Head of Business Development at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and as Vice President for NatWest Markets.
Recognised by transnational industry leaders as a prominent investment professional, William has also been awarded an honorary citizenship of Washington, U.S.A. for his contribution to the Sino-US relationship. William was the Chairman of the Hong Kong Youth Association – the largest youth charity association in Hong Kong. He also founded the Youth Innovation and Development Alliance to advocate innovation and career development for young people within that region. Driven to support his fellow citizens to the best of his ability, William’s vast knowledge, experience, resources, and undeniable empathic nature make him a key individual in leading The Hong Kong People Association initiative.
An inaugural event for the association will be held in September 2021 in Ealing, West London, and the charity’s formal launch will be followed closely thereafter in October 2021.

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to announce it’s among the first to be granted consent to a full authorization by the Astana Financial Service Authority (AFSA). This milestone brings Bybit closer to becoming a fully regulated Digital Asset Trading Facility (DATF).
As part of a rigorous process, Bybit Kazakhstan has passed a full AML check, business conduct audit, and detailed compliance inspections. This is part of Bybit’s focus on securing new user opportunities in Kazakhstan and the broader Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region.
“Kazakhstan has become a key player in the global crypto ecosystem, and we are thrilled to be expanding our services in such a dynamic market,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We are committed to bringing our cutting-edge technology, security, and transparency to crypto traders in Kazakhstan, ensuring they can access the best possible tools and services to thrive in this fast-growing industry.”
Once the full license is in place, Bybit Kazakhstan will offer various digital assets related products and services. The expansion into Kazakhstan aligns with Bybit’s mission to provide reliable and transparent services, catering to the unique needs of crypto traders and investors in the region.
This development follows Bybit’s receipt of its initial operating and custody licenses from AFSA in June 2023, reinforcing its commitment to local regulatory requirements. Bybit’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in Kazakhstan underscore its belief in responsible growth and ensuring a compliant and secure trading environment.
Kazakhstan has quickly emerged as a hub for crypto innovation, and Bybit is proud to play a leading role in fostering this development. For example, Bybit hosted a “Foundations of Blockchain, Web3 and Crypto Exchange Activities” course for Banks of Kazakhstan in 2024. This event was part of Bybit’s drive to make blockchain education more accessible in the CIS region.
By securing this full authorization, Bybit is poised to enhance crypto adoption, provide institutional-grade security, and offer advanced trading features to its growing regional user base.

Integrum ESG and CSRHub enable fund managers to monitor both long-term trends and short-term movements in ESG ratings for companies, across a 10-year time series
LONDON, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Integrum ESG, the leading alternative ESG data provider, has today announced the launch of their Consensus ESG Ratings module.
Just as investors monitor movements in consensus earnings estimates or credit ratings, investors now are aware of the demand for the ability to monitor long-term trends and short-term movements in consensus ESG ratings.
This new feature enables Integrum ESG’s asset manager clients to now see the consensus ESG score for any company, either as an absolute rating or a relative percentile ranking, across a 10-year time series.
These scores will indicate to any investor what the capital markets have ‘priced in’ for a company’s ESG performance, allowing users to quickly understand the market’s view on a company and easily conduct relative ESG analysis on the positions they hold within their Portfolio.
This regularly updated data is provided by CSRHub, the world’s leading provider of consensus ESG ratings. CSRHub has spent years aggregating and normalising a vast range of licensed sources – from large ESG ratings firms such as MSCI, ISS, S&P Global, and Sustainalytics to specialists such as CDP and Better World Companies.
Shai Hill, Founder and CEO of Integrum ESG, commented: “Many investors have told us they want a sense of ‘what is priced in’ in terms of a company’s ESG performance, so they can compare this to what anyone ESG ratings firm is saying. CSRHub is the only firm to have credibly achieved this, thanks to a model refined over years and a vast data lake – so we are delighted to be partnering with them.”
Bahar Gidwani, Co-Founder of CSRHub, added: “Investors need to fine tune their ESG-related investment strategies to improve their returns and better match the preferences of their clients. Combining CSRHub’s expert outside-in, consensus view of ESG with Integrum ESG’s detailed real-time data stream provides a strong solution for these needs.”
About Integrum ESG
Integrum ESG is the leading alternative ESG data and ratings platform for investors, blending human analysis and award-winning artificial intelligence models to capture, verify and display granular and relevant ESG data for analysis and assessment. Their Platform allows clients to dissect ESG scores, real-time sentiment, and more with a variety of unique-to-market features, empowering industry professionals and investors and giving them complete oversight of ESG risk across their portfolio.
