With the various racing teams still working hard on disassembling their cars and garages in the early morning heat and humidity as this post goes out, Asia’s leading wealth management hub has put on another unique weekend of excitement and entertainment on and off the track for the 8th consecutive year. (In the modern format)

Maroon 5, Bon Jovi, Pharrell Williams and the outstanding Spandau Ballet played to around 140,000 people over the three days, despite the lingering hazy conditions the crowds did not stay away.

Global wealth management institutions, law firms and leading asset managers all hosted packed corporate hospitality events, notwithstanding each year promising to cut back on budgets the event has built so much momentum it is hard for them not to have a significant presence and leverage the event to invite leading clients and service providers.

The Formula One circus now moves to North Asia for the Japanese grand prix which one year after the tragic Jules Bianchi accident is sure to be an emotional weekend for his many close friends in the sport.
