Connecting Asian Families with Canada’s Business & Innovation Ecosystem

Connecting Asian Families with Canada’s Business & Innovation Ecosystem
On May 6, 2025, ASJ met with Michael Rublack of Toronto Global in Taipei to exchange perspectives on Toronto’s business and innovation ecosystem, including its strengths in artificial intelligence, technology, research talent, and business development.
For many entrepreneurs and families who have built their businesses across Asia, their connection with Canada often begins with the next generation’s education and gradually expands into residency, business development, investment, and longer-term family planning. As the next generation establishes deeper roots in Canada, access to local business, technology, and professional networks can become an increasingly important part of the family’s cross-border strategy.
The meeting provided ASJ with further insights into Toronto’s business and innovation ecosystem and the local resources available to Asian entrepreneurs and families seeking to establish deeper connections with Canada.
As a bridge between Canada and Asia, ASJ continues to explore ways to connect the industry experience, capital, and business networks built by Asian families with Canada’s innovation ecosystem, talent, and market opportunities—supporting long-term development across generations and markets.
從下一代教育到家族跨境發展
2025 年 5 月 6 日，ASJ 在台北與 Toronto Global 的 Michael Rublack 交流，深入了解多倫多地區在人工智慧、科技創新、研究人才及企業發展方面的生態與資源。
對許多長期在亞洲發展事業的企業家與家族而言，加拿大的連結往往從下一代教育開始，並逐步延伸至居住、事業發展、投資及家族長期布局。當下一代在加拿大建立教育與生活基礎後，家族如何進一步連結當地的商業、科技與專業網絡，也成為跨境規劃的重要一環。
此次交流讓 ASJ 進一步了解多倫多的企業與創新生態，以及亞洲企業家與家族進入加拿大市場時可運用的在地資源。
作為連結加拿大與亞洲的橋樑，ASJ 持續探索如何協助客戶將亞洲累積的產業經驗、資本與商業網絡，與加拿大的創新、人才及市場機會相互連結，支持家族跨世代、跨市場的長期發展。
Cask Strength Whisky — 原桶威士忌之夜
Alternative Assets, Collectibles & Family Wealth
Taipei | June 5, 2025
Exploring Alternative Assets through a Family Office Perspective
On June 5, 2025, ASJ attended a cask-strength whisky evening in Taipei, combining whisky tasting with discussions on the evolving market for premium whisky, casks, and collectible assets.
From a family office perspective, collectibles such as art, classic cars, watches, fine wine, and whisky can form part of the broader alternative-asset landscape beyond traditional financial investments. Their relevance to private wealth may extend beyond potential financial appreciation to include personal passion, cultural value, lifestyle, and intergenerational legacy.
Whisky represents a distinctive form of tangible collectible asset. Factors including distillery provenance, vintage, scarcity, maturation, storage, insurance, liquidity, and access to secondary markets can all influence long-term value, requiring a different framework from conventional investments such as equities and fixed income.
For ASJ, the evening provided an opportunity to examine collectible assets through a Family Office lens and to better understand how families may consider the intersection of portfolio diversification, passion assets, and intergenerational wealth as part of a broader approach to long-term family wealth.
從家族辦公室視角探索另類資產與收藏
2025 年 6 月 5 日，ASJ 於台北參與「原桶威士忌之夜」，透過原桶威士忌品鑑與產業交流，進一步了解精品威士忌、酒桶及收藏市場的發展。
從家族辦公室的角度來看，藝術品、經典汽車、腕錶、葡萄酒與威士忌等收藏品，除了本身的文化與收藏價值，也經常被高資產家族視為傳統金融資產以外的另類資產（Alternative Assets）。其價值不僅在於潛在的資產增值，更可能結合家族成員的興趣、生活方式與跨世代傳承。
威士忌尤其具有獨特的實體資產特性。從酒廠、年份、稀缺性與熟成，到儲存、保險、流動性及交易市場，每一項因素都可能影響其長期價值，因此也需要與股票、債券等傳統金融資產不同的評估方式。
對 ASJ 而言，此次交流提供了一個從 Family Office 視角觀察收藏型資產的機會，進一步理解高資產家族如何在傳統投資之外，思考資產多元化、收藏興趣與跨世代財富傳承之間的連結。
