Asia Bankers Club

What Asia Bankers Club does

Asia Bankers Club is a premium membership-based investment club serving banking and finance executives, business owners, and high-net-worth individuals, operating as part of IFCX group, an Asia-focused diversified holding company headquartered in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. Founded in 2015 by Kingston Lai, a former Morgan Stanley investment banker, the company curates access to physical asset investment opportunities—including international real estate, fine wines, art, timepieces, antiques, diamonds, and other collectibles—across Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the UK. The company claims a connected network of 100,000+ executives, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders.

The company's product surface is service-led rather than technology-led; no proprietary technology platform is disclosed. Core capabilities reside in its curated member network, dedicated relationship managers, and distribution agreements with major developers including CapitaLand, Hongkong Land, Lendlease, Emaar, Aldar, Damac, and Sobha. Complementary offerings include ABC Property Solutions (one-stop property aftersales), EasyPro (residency and property management), UK101 (UK market information), Knightsbridge Partners (B2B distribution), and the InvestLine educational investment class series. The ECO (Elite Circle of Oracle) partnership program extends the platform to industry influencers.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: recurring membership fees, transaction and advisory commissions from developers and financial institutions, and event-based fees (e.g., HKD 388 per InvestLine session, HKD 800 for non-member legal briefings). The go-to-market is event-driven and sales-led, leveraging curated VIP dinners, property tours, investment seminars, member referrals, and co-hosted experiences with luxury brands (KEF, McLaren, Christian Louboutin, Emirates) and financial institutions (OSL). The company operates from Hong Kong (HQ), a newly launched Dubai Global Office (Feb 2026), and has regional presence in Thailand, Vietnam, the UK, Australia, Cambodia, and Malaysia.
