At ShineWing TY TEOH, we help ultra-high-net-worth families and business owners in Malaysia build, protect, and transition their wealth through personalized family office services. From succession planning and asset structuring to investment advisory and tax compliance, our solutions are tailored to preserve your legacy for generations.
A family office is a private advisory firm that manages investments, estate planning, and day-to-day financial matters for wealthy families.
In Malaysia, family offices have become increasingly vital to ensure effective legacy planning, governance, and confidentiality.
Today, High-net-worth Individuals (HNWIs) have invested in differing types of complicated financial assets and businesses around the world. As a result, they might have people around them who they would like to protect or to whom they want part or all of their assets to be transferred to in the event of a worst case scenario or unforeseen circumstances.
Unfortunately, based on our experience, most individuals neglect to put in place an organized retirement plan and a dedicated inheritance structure to ensure the continuity of their affairs, their businesses and income for the next generation.
With a presence in Asia-Pacific and a deep understanding of local regulations, we ensure cross-border compliance and advisory.
From legal and tax advisory to investment and estate planning, we provide end-to-end support under one roof.
We are familiar with the cultural dynamics and governance needs of Malaysian and regional family enterprises.
We treat each family uniquely, offering confidential strategies that align with your family values and goals.

We note that Family Offices and HNWIs often face difficulties when dealing with asset management, especially when they have several types of assets in different forms and countries.
These type of portfolio makes administration a time-consuming and complicated task as it doesn’t allow for much transparency in respect of valuation of assets, income, and risk. We can help HNWIs overcome these hurdles by providing tailor-made solutions to hold and manage their assets, investments and wealth.
We will advise, analyze and structure the inheritance plan with respect to the family founder’s Will, governance and heirship’s rule. We will also put in place the appropriate structures, maintain the administration, appoint independent managers or protectors, and fulfil any accounting, legal or tax reporting obligations to the relevant authorities.
Our operational solutions are flexible and practical with a wide coverage on management and control participations, ways to protect, maintain and administer the family wealth including assets/possessions around the globe and international tax advices on transferring assets.
