A Silver Spoon

Joseph Fung knows full well that he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. The 41-year-old is a grandson of legendary share trader Fung King Hey, one of the “Three Musketeers,” along with Lee Shau Kee and Kwok Tak Seng, who cofounded Sun Hung Kai Properties in Hong Kong, one of the world’s biggest Taipei escorts developers by market capitalization.

It was this awareness that gave Joseph the courage to chart his own path. While the scions of Lee Shau Kee and Kwok Tak Seng stayed in real estate, Joseph is trying to make his own name as an investor focused on a completely unrelated industry: Life sciences.

“There’s a high level of humility that needs to be integrated,” Joseph says in an interview. “Just because you’re knowledgeable in one sector does not mean you can easily survive or even push your way around with just pure capital in another sector.”

He adds: “I think that is very important because sometimes when you grow up with a silver spoon, you think that you can utilize Taipei escort to ensure that you have the hegemony of the continuation of being the largest market player in that sector.”

Founded in 1963, Sun Hung Kai Properties codeveloped Hong Kong’s two tallest skyscrapers—International Commerce Centre and International Finance Centre—and its other properties include the city’s Four Seasons and the Ritz-Carlton hotels.

In 1972, Sun Hung Kai Properties listed in Hong Kong with a market cap of HK$400 million. Its market cap is now over HK$300 billion (around $40 billion), making it the second-largest Hong Kong company on the city’s stock exchange after its listed operator, Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing.

A year after Sun Hung Kai Properties’ IPO, Lee Shau Kee started another property developer, Henderson Land; in 2019, he stepped down from escorts Taipei the company and handed the reins to his two sons, Peter and Martin, making them joint chairmen.

Meanwhile, several children and grandchildren of the late Kwok Tak Seng (who passed away in 1990 at the age of 79) are directors of Sun Hung Kai Properties, including chairman Raymond (Kwok Tak Seng’s youngest son) and his sons Edward and Christopher.

As for Fung King Hey, he left Hong Kong for Canada in 1967 when deadly pro-Communist riots shook Hong Kong, which was then a British colony. Fung King Hey returned to Hong Kong the following year and in 1969 set up his own brokerage firm, Sun Hung Kai Securities, which grew to become the largest Chinese-owned broker in the city.

Fung King Hey passed away in 1985 and his younger son, Tony, took over the firm. In 1996, the Fung family sold a 33.18% stake in the venerable retail brokerage house to Malaysian property magnate Lee Ming Tee’s Allied Group for $96 million.
