In this insightful discussion, FountainCap CEO Steven Luk and OPIM CEO Alvin Fan explore how China is overcoming sanctions and skepticism through rapid technological innovation. They discuss China's advancements in areas like robotics, 5G, space exploration, and semiconductor chiplet technology that are positioning the country for future dominance. Luk draws parallels to late 19th century Britain and Germany, explaining how sanctions could backfire by forcing China to quickly pivot into new strategic industries. Fan and Luk highlight China's current leadership in transforming critical infrastructure like power grids to support growing sectors such as AI and electric vehicles.
For forward-thinking institutional and professional investors, this conversation provides a thought-provoking analysis of China's rising global competitiveness despite geopolitical headwinds. #ChinaInvesting #ChinaTech #Geopolitics #Semiconductors #Robotics #5G #SpaceExploration #PowerGrids #AI #Sustainability

Building a secondaries fund isn’t just a strategy. It’s a commitment.
In Part 2, Alvin Fan and Jonathan Ting go beyond the market mechanics and get personal: what it’s like launching a fund, building conviction, and navigating a landscape where speed and certainty often outweigh price.
🔍 Inside the conversation:
• Why smaller LP deals are underpriced and overlooked
• How “being real” often beats being the highest bidder
• What makes secondaries uniquely scalable
• And the personal toll (and thrill) of launching something from scratch
For anyone who’s ever asked what it really takes to build an edge in private markets—this one goes behind the curtain.
Not a pitch. Not a panel. Just the real story behind Neuco.

💼 What is it like to run a family office in Asia?

Forget the headlines and AUM. Chartwell Capital, built on 500 years of legacy, shows how wealthy Asian families actually manage money — quietly, deliberately, and rooted in family values.

Inside the conversation:

🔹 Why Chartwell doesn’t have “clients”

🔹 How engagement, not activism drives returns

🔹 What concentrated portfolios reveal about conviction

🔹 Why most people misunderstand what a family office is

This isn’t a hedge fund masquerading as a family office. It’s a long-game strategy built on trust, values, and legacy.

🧠 “AI will take your job” is the wrong mindset.

In this final part, Daniel and Alvin shift from capital to culture—what family offices are learning from Gen Z, and how AI is reshaping the way we work, think, and train.

💡 Inside the discussion:

🔹What interns taught managers

🔹How family offices measure “happiness” as ROI

🔹Why learning to ask better questions is the edge

🔹What AI can’t replace—and where it quietly thrives

🔹This is where investing gets personal: values, curiosity, and the next generation shaping capital

No hype. Just real talk about what comes next.

📉 The market’s still skeptical. 📈 But capital is moving.

As allocators consider their stance on China, Hong Kong’s elites are already betting on the future. In this episode, Daniel Jim breaks down what’s shifting beneath the surface.

Key themes:

🧠 Why the “China is uninvestable” thesis is wearing thin

🧠 How Hong Kong can anchor a China-wide financial identity

🧠 What a real ETF for China could look like

🧠 Why private capital needs to lead, not follow

This isn’t macro talk from a podium. It’s what real allocators are debating behind closed doors—and what family offices are doing while the world waits.

In this episode of Alpha Uncovered, Alvin Fan, the CEO of OP Investment Management, interviews Michael Wagner, the CEO of Star Atlas, a blockchain-based metaverse game that combines space exploration, combat, and economics. They discuss how Star Atlas aims to create something more than just a single game time, but an ecosystem that provides a total immersive sci-fi experience that leverages the power of Solana, Unreal Engine, and NFTs. Wagner explains how the game’s different product lines, such as Sage, a browser-based RTS game, and Alpha, a 3D space simulator, offer different entry points and gameplay loops for players. He also talks about the game’s achievements, such as generating enough revenue to sustain development, creating a cult-like following of players, and contributing to the growth of the Solana network. He also addresses some of the common misconceptions and criticisms of web 3 games, and how Star Atlas is different from other projects in the space. The interview is a candid and insightful conversation between two founders who share their passion for building, gaming and innovation.

By focusing on identifying mispricings between currencies and interest rates across different nations, Zan's models aim to capture alpha independent of broader macro trends. In this session, he discusses the rationale for a relative value approach, highlighting the empirical evidence that shows these opportunities have historically offered higher risk-adjusted returns than directional bets.
