Graid Technology Launches Agentic AI Storage Portfolio to Eliminate KV Cache Bottlenecks

SUNNYVALE, CA, Apr 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Graid Technology, the pioneer in GPU-accelerated NVMe storage, today announced its Agentic AI Storage Portfolio: a purpose-built family of KV cache solutions designed to eliminate the storage bottleneck that stalls "always-on" production AI. The portfolio spans three deployment tiers: KV Cache Server, KV Cache Rack, and KV Cache Platform, all built on SupremeRAID™ technology. KV Cache Platform, the portfolio's highest tier, is purpose-aligned to NVIDIA's STX reference architecture, with native BlueField-4 DPU execution on the roadmap for H2 2026.As agentic AI moves from experimentation to production, the infrastructure assumptions that underpinned single-shot inference have broken down. Models running continuous multi-step tasks and maintaining context across hours of operation generate KV cache demands that overwhelm GPU HBM. The result: latency spikes up to 18x, GPU utilization as low as 50%, and model-level failures, including hallucinations and reasoning degradation, that are difficult to detect and costly to recover from.SupremeRAID™ addresses this directly, aggregating up to 32 NVMe drives into a single 280 GB/s virtual pool, bypassing the CPU via GPU Direct Storage, and delivering KV cache reads at 1.3ms- 77x faster than standard NVMe. The three portfolio tiers bring this capability to every deployment scale:KV Cache Server - single-node NVMe acceleration for individual inference servers and edge AI deployments. Available now.KV Cache Rack - rack-scale, partner-validated solutions co-engineered with leading server OEM partners for enterprise multi-GPU clusters. Available now.KV Cache Platform - Purpose-built for NVIDIA's STX reference architecture, with native BlueField-4 DPU execution and rack-scale storage expansion on the roadmap."A year ago, at GTC 2025, Jensen Huang predicted that storage would become GPU-accelerated for the first time. This year, NVIDIA turned that concept into an architecture with STX and CMX," said Leander Yu, CEO of Graid Technology. "Our KV Cache Portfolio is built for precisely this moment, delivering the storage performance that agentic AI demands, at storage-tier economics."For enterprises and infrastructure teams evaluating agentic AI deployments, the full deployment architecture, technical specifications, and NVIDIA STX compatibility details are available in the solution brief: Graid Technology Agentic AI Storage Portfolio: Purpose-built KV Cache Solutions for Inference at Scale.To learn more about Graid Technology's AI offerings, visit graidtech.com/ai.Media Inquiries:Andrea Eaken, Sr. Director of Marketing, Americas & EMEAandrea.eaken@graidtech.comAbout Graid TechnologyGraid Technology is building the storage backbone for the future of AI, enterprise, and high-performance computing.

A new system to track material design processes

TSUKUBA, Japan, Apr 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Discovering and characterizing new materials is important for unlocking advances in fields like clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and improved infrastructure. Researchers use machine learning and other computational tools to help them, but the trial-and-error nature of the process creates specific challenges. The research produces large amounts of experimental and computational data, and scientists need tools that can track and store not only the results but also the chain of reasoning behind them.A newly developed system tracks and stores not only the results but also the chain of reasoning behind them, allowing researchers to review the decision making process for a greater transparency and reproducibility in materials science research.A new system called pinax, published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods, provides precisely those features. Developed by engineers at Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), pinax captures the entire process of developing new materials, including machine learning workflows and decision-making processes. “By formalizing both successful and unsuccessful trial-and-error processes, pinax enhances reproducibility, accountability, and knowledge sharing while maintaining strict data governance,” says Satoshi Minamoto of NIMS, the study’s lead author.The new pinax system consists of three layers: the core machine learning infrastructure (bottom), the provenance recording and tracking that visualises the reasoning behind final results (middle), and the advanced feature layer for materials development (top). Credit: STAM-MMachine learning models are playing an ever-larger role in materials discovery and characterization. While the models are powerful tools, the reasoning processes they use are generally opaque. Researchers don’t know what considerations and trial-and-error processes went into their final predictions. “The system introduced in this study visualizes these invisible processes. This enables others to review, verify, and build upon the path to the conclusions,” says Minamoto.Minamoto highlights the importance of such access in applications where safety, reproducibility, and accountability are important, saying that this work “demonstrates how transparent AI systems can transform scientific discovery into a more reliable, efficient, and socially responsible endeavor.”The team tested pinax using two case studies: one on predicting steel properties and another using transfer learning to predict the thermal conductivity of polymers. The system made it possible to link the model’s performance predictions to the specific data or model aspects that influenced them, and to reproduce complex, multi-stage workflows. “In particular, the transfer-learning example highlights pinax’s ability to track how information flows between intertwined datasets and models, making every step in the reasoning process explicitly traceable,” says Minamoto.The engineers plan to expand pinax towards an autonomous, closed-loop materials discovery system. By integrating pinax’s tracking capabilities with automated experimental and simulation systems, they aim to create a loop that can use data generation, machine learning models, and decision-making systems to systematically and independently carry out the entire research cycle.Further information Satoshi MinamotoNational Institute for Materials Scienceminamoto.satoshi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/27660400.2026.2629051 About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods (STAM-M)STAM Methods is an open access sister journal of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), and focuses on emergent methods and tools for improving and/or accelerating materials developments, such as methodology, apparatus, instrumentation, modeling, high-through put data collection, materials/process informatics, databases, and programming. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM-MDr Kazuya SaitoSTAM Methods Publishing Director SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

New Report Reveals Widespread Misunderstanding of Consumer Messaging App Security Across Government and Critical Infrastructure

WATERLOO, ONTARIO, Apr 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - BlackBerry Secure Communications, a division of BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB), today released The State of Secure Communications 2026, a survey of 700 security decision-makers across government and critical infrastructure in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Singapore. The findings reveal a widening gap between confidence in communications security and the reality of risk exposure - with significant national security implications. Among the most striking findings: 83% of security leaders report that WhatsApp is being used for sensitive discussions inside their organizations.The Sovereignty ParadoxOwnership and control of the infrastructure behind sensitive communications is emerging as a critical blind spot, exposing gaps in data sovereignty. While 55% prioritize sovereign control, virtually all (98%) rely on foreign-hosted platforms not built for confidential communications or high-security environments. Meanwhile, 52% are concerned telecom networks could be monitored or disrupted - a tangible risk already demonstrated by espionage campaigns targeting network operators, such as Salt Typhoon and more recently, UNC3886 in Singapore."Consumer messaging apps were never designed to handle sensitive communications, protect confidentiality, or meet the demands of high-security environments," said Christine Gadsby, Chief Security Advisor, BlackBerry Secure Communications. "They rely on phone numbers, not verified identities - and encryption protects the channel, not who is on it. That gap is already being exploited, as recent intelligence warnings show, and governments and critical infrastructure organizations are responding by moving toward communications infrastructure they own and trust."Confidence Built on MisunderstandingThese findings come as intelligence agencies in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe issue fresh advisories about state-backed espionage attacks targeting Signal and WhatsApp accounts of public officials and journalists. This highlights how the threat surface is shifting from networks to consumer messaging platforms now embedded in daily critical operations.Yet 88% of security leaders surveyed expressed confidence in their current messaging app security. That confidence is built on a fundamental misread of what these platforms actually protect, significantly increasing risk exposure. The report reveals critical gaps in encryption literacy among the very leaders responsible for safeguarding communications:52% mistakenly believe encryption protects metadata - including location data, IP addresses, and communication patterns47% believe it prevents impersonation, deepfake, or spoofing attacks41% assume communications remain secure, even after a device has been compromisedThis gap between perception and reality is now playing out in real-world incidents, with governments increasing restrictions and warnings about the use of consumer apps for sensitive communications, recognizing that encryption alone does not address the full risk.The Risks of Improvised Crisis ResponseThese gaps become most visible when organizations are under pressure. While 90% say they are confident in managing major incidents, fewer than half (49%) have a unified platform to coordinate response.In practice, the survey shows many rely on a patchwork of everyday tools - from group chats (54%) and email threads (51%) to shared spreadsheets (29%) and phone trees (19%). Familiar as they are, these tools were never designed for crisis coordination, and cannot deliver the real-time visibility, command and control or secure cross-agency communication that major incidents demand.Limits of "Good Enough" SecurityOverall, the findings point to a consistent pattern: security leaders across government and critical infrastructure are relying on communications platforms not designed for the security, sovereignty or crisis demands they now face. The issue is not encryption alone, but architecture. Many consumer platforms generate and retain metadata, operate under foreign data-access laws, and lack the controls required for high-value or classified communications.As threats evolve, from account compromise to large-scale surveillance, what may appear "secure enough" can quickly become a costly attack surface. The question is no longer whether these platforms are being exploited. It is whether the organizations relying on them recognize the risk.To learn how BlackBerry Secure Communications is protecting governments and critical infrastructure worldwide with interception-resistant, government-grade secure voice and messaging, visit BlackBerry.com/SecureCommunications.Survey MethodologyThe State of Secure Communications 2026 was conducted by OnePoll on behalf of BlackBerry.

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that GMG's patent for GMG's Graphene Engine Oil Additive, G® LUBRICANT, has now been granted for 20 years in the USA and allowed in China. This is in addition to the previously announced G® LUBRICANT patent accepted for the European region. There are various other countries around the world where this patent application is progressing as well, which are shown in Figure 1.Figure 1: World Map of G® LUBRICANT Patent ProgressTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/293352_gmg_figure1.jpgAbout G® LUBRICANT: G® LUBRICANT is what management believes to be a transformative graphene liquid concentrate additive designed to enhance the performance of diesel and gasoline (petrol) engines. This product has the potential to reshape the future of the global liquid fuels industry and offers an innovative solution that optimizes efficiency and power for stationary or mobile engines. G® LUBRICANT, a graphene liquid concentrate that can be added to any mineral or synthetic oil used in an internal combustion engine in a 1:100 dosage, has been verified by the University of Queensland to increase fuel efficiency by up to 8.4% in a diesel engine as announced in February 2025. [1]The amount of graphene in the final engine oil once G® LUBRICANT is mixed in is only ~ 1:10,000. As a result, G® LUBRICANT can be used safely in any internal combustion engine. Over the past four years, GMG has conducted environmentally controlled testing of G® LUBRICANT in internal combustion engines monitored and verified by The University of Queensland. GMG's test results have been corroborated by similar savings realized by customers over a number of years of field testing.US$ 1.4 Trillion Global Diesel IndustryWhilst G® LUBRICANT can be used to reduce fuel consumption in both diesel and gasoline/petrol engines GMG intends to focus on the diesel market initially, which is largely B2B focused, and therefore, more targeted as far as fuel cost savings and performance. GMG calculates, prior to the recent increase in diesel prices, that global diesel fuel sales totaled US$1.4 Trillion per annum[2] including taxes and duties on approximately 28 million barrels of diesel per day as detailed by the US Energy Information Administration2. Figure 3 shows the top 34 countries in the world with diesel fuel sales greater than US$10 Billion per annum.Figure 2: Total Diesel Fuel Sales in 2025 US$ BillionTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/293352_gmg_figure2.jpgEstimated US$ 1.2 Billion Per Annum Global Diesel Market For G® LUBRICANT Assuming an average fuel savings of 8.4%, GMG believes that a conservative estimate of the potential market for G® LUBRICANT is 10% of the fuel savings realized by users annually. Assuming G® LUBRICANT pricing equal to 10% of the savings realized, GMG estimates that the potential global revenue for G® LUBRICANT is US$ 1.2 Billion sales per annum based on 2025 actual sales. Figure 3 shows GMG's estimates of potential annual sales of G® LUBRICANT by country.Figure 3: Total G® LUBRICANT Sales Opportunity based off 2025 Total Diesel Fuel SalesTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/293352_gmg_figure3.jpgCraig Nicol, CEO & Managing Director of the Company, commented "This is great progress to secure the valuable graphene lubricant patent for engine oil use in the major markets of Europe, China and the USA."Jack Perkowski, Chairman and Non-Executive Director of the Company, commented: "Congratulations to the team on progressing further with building their competitive position in securing patents in the most valuable markets for G® LUBRICANT".About GMG:GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process.

百望股份最新白皮书聚焦BEPS 2.0落地与数字化监管变局 破解跨境出海税务合规痛点

香港, 2026年4月21日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) – 作为中国企业"走出去"的核心桥头堡,东南亚市场长期凭借地缘优势、产业配套潜力与灵活的税收优惠政策,成为中国企业出海投资、产能布局、数字化拓展的首选目的地。但随着全球税收监管体系的全面升级,东南亚市场的税收环境已发生根本性变化,税务合规成为中企出海东南亚必须跨越的核心门槛。此次百望股份发布的2026版东南亚税务合规白皮书,正是针对这一行业痛点,为出海企业提供了覆盖政策解读、风险防控、体系搭建的全链条解决方案,为中国跨国企业布局东南亚市场提供了权威、系统、可落地的全维度税务合规指引,也为中企应对全球税收规则重构、实现高质量全球化发展提供了核心参考。BEPS 2.0全区域落地 东南亚"税收洼地"格局迎来根本性重构白皮书核心内容明确指出,随着OECD主导的BEPS 2.0(税基侵蚀与利润转移2.0方案)第二支柱规则在亚太地区的全面落地,15%的全球最低企业有效税率(ETR)已成为跨国企业无法规避的硬性监管红线,东南亚市场延续多年的"税收洼地"红利正在加速消退。据白皮书援引Mayer Brown《2024/2025冬季亚洲税务公报》权威数据显示,东南亚及亚太区域BEPS 2.0规则落地已进入全面加速期:日本、韩国、越南已于2024年率先完成BEPS 2.0第二支柱规则的落地实施,新加坡、马来西亚、印尼等东南亚核心投资目的地,也在2025年相继完成规则落地与政策配套,2026年起该规则将在东南亚全区域持续扩展,实现监管体系的全覆盖。百望股份在白皮书中强调,15%全球最低有效税率的硬性约束,从根本上改变了东南亚各国的外资税收政策逻辑,也彻底重构了跨国企业的全球税务架构设计底层逻辑。过往中国出海企业普遍依赖的区域税收减免、低税率园区等税负优化方式,将面临全球最低税率规则的直接约束——跨国企业无论在东南亚哪个国家开展经营,其全球合并计算的有效税率均不得低于15%的底线,否则将面临相关辖区的补充征税。这一变化,对中国企业东南亚投资的税务规划、利润分配、跨区域核算能力,都提出了前所未有的合规要求。数字化监管全面提速 东南亚税务合规进入数智化管控新时代除了全球税改规则带来的底层格局变化,白皮书重点聚焦了东南亚各国税务监管的数字化转型浪潮,明确指出全流程、实时化的数字化监管,已成为中企出海东南亚必须应对的核心合规命题。白皮书系统整合了东南亚各国最新的数字化税收监管政策,其中包括马来西亚内陆税收局(IRBM)2026年发布的4.6版电子发票(e-Invoice)指南及专项规范、越南政府与财政部2025年出台的第70/2025/ND-CP号法令及32/2025/TT-BTC号通知等核心监管文件,全面拆解了东南亚区域电子发票强制落地、涉税数据实时报送、全流程数字化稽查的最新合规要求。白皮书结合OECD《2026年税务管理数字化转型报告》、世界海关组织(WCO)2025年相关监管研究成果指出,东南亚各国税务监管正快速从传统的"事后审计"模式,向"事前校验、事中管控、全程追溯"的数字化清关式监管转型。对于中国出海企业而言,传统的人工化、分散化的跨境税务管理模式,已无法适配多司法管辖区的数字化监管要求,智能化、自动化的合规管理体系,已成为企业东南亚出海的核心必备能力。同时,白皮书还纳入了全球前沿的财税合规技术研究成果,包括ACL 2025收录的《多辖区网络中实时财务合规的自主数据代理》相关研究,为企业通过数智化技术破解跨区域合规难题、实现全流程税务风险管控,提供了可落地的技术路径与实践参考。锚定出海合规痛点 百望Tax-Swift为中企提供全链条合规解决方案针对中国企业东南亚出海过程中高频出现的转让定价估值错配、跨境利润分配合规性、涉税信息法定报送、多辖区政策适配等核心风险点,百望股份此次发布的白皮书给出了全维度的风险防控指引与解决方案。白皮书全面整合了OECD、普华永道(PWC)、德勤(Deloitte)、麦肯锡等全球权威机构的最新研究成果,同时系统梳理了中国财政部、国家税务总局、商务部2025年发布的《关于外国投资者境内取得利润直接投资税收免税问题的公告》、国家税务总局《关于优化企业所得税预缴申报有关事项的公告》等国内配套支持政策,既全面覆盖了东南亚东道国的最新监管要求,也为企业用好国内出海税收支持政策提供了清晰指引,实现了跨境税务合规的双向覆盖。百望研究院在白皮书中强调,在数字化出海的下半场,税务合规早已不是企业经营的后端成本项,而是决定企业全球化发展上限的核心竞争力。中国跨国企业唯有将数据合规视为核心生产力的一部分,在拥抱全球规则中实现合规体系的底层重构,才能在充满不确定性的全球市场中行稳致远。在目前的出海财税合规赛道中,百望Tax-Swift所展现出的全球化能力矩阵,已成为中国企业构建这一蓝图的标杆选型。其核心依托的Agent 智能体矩阵实现了多维度的业财赋能:百望股份长期深耕跨国企业跨境财税合规领域,依托自主研发的智能财税数字化平台,为中国出海企业提供覆盖多辖区合规管理、智能发票管理、全球税务核算、风险实时管控的全链条解决方案。此次《中国企业东南亚市场税务合规白皮书(2026)》的发布,是百望股份助力中企全球化发展的又一重要实践,未来也将持续依托百望研究院的专业研究能力,为中国企业出海提供更前沿、更专业的合规指引与技术支持,助力中国企业在全球市场中实现高质量、可持续的发展。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Smart Lighting Expo and Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Spring Edition), twin fairs open today

HONG KONG, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the 3rd Smart Lighting Expo and the 17th Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Spring Edition) open today and will run for four consecutive days from 20 to 23 April at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in Wan Chai. Under the theme “Go Smart, Live Green”, the twin lighting fairs introduce a number of new zones this year, including the debut of “Light Lab”, which focuses on lighting solutions that combine innovation and sustainability, unveiling the latest lighting trends for 2026.Jenny Koo, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year’s twin lighting fairs bring together some 900 exhibitors, including new exhibitors from the Netherlands and Vietnam. A number of industry leaders are participating, including Absen, whose LED displays were in use at the World Cup and World Expos, and has been ranked first nationally in LED display exports for 16 consecutive years, and Shanghai Sansi, which supplies over 60% of the screens in Times Square, New York. Overall, our exhibitor lineup is strong. As one of the key events of Business of Innovation and Technology Week (BIT Week), the Smart Lighting Expo focuses on cutting edge lighting technologies and applications. This year, the newly launched Smart Commercial Display & Stage Audio-Visual Zone features lighting products and equipment related to cultural tourism and performing arts. As top-tier trade events for lighting products and technologies, the twin lighting fairs not only help promote Hong Kong as an international innovation and technology hub but also support the development of the megaevent economy by fostering cross industry exchange and collaboration.”According to Statista, the global smart lighting market is expected to reach US$44 billion by 2030. An analysis released by the International Energy Agency in March said that a second wave of LED transformation is imminent. In regions including Africa, Latin America and the Asia Pacific (excluding India and Chinese Mainland), LED penetration remains relatively low. In the residential sector alone, around 30% of lighting fixtures worldwide have yet to be upgraded, creating opportunities for high efficiency LED technologies. At the same time, early generation LED products, which account for nearly 15% of global residential lighting fixtures and have an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years, are gradually reaching the end of their service life, creating opportunities for high efficiency and more intelligent lighting systems.Against the backdrop of surging demand for high efficiency and intelligent lighting, this year’s fairs curate multiple highlights that bring advanced lighting technologies into real world application scenarios. The newly introduced “Light Lab” in Hall 3 features three scenario-based designs that present a range of products in an immersive manner, allowing visitors to experience their characteristics in different settings. The Lumin Garden displays garden lighting, smart lamp posts and solar luminaires. Shanghai Sansi LED Lighting presents plant lighting fixtures that use proprietary independent ceramic technology, delivering heat dissipation efficiency superior to metal structures. Combined with precise spectral control and professional optical systems, the solution meets the needs of plants at different growth stages.The Lumin Arena showcases professional grade lighting performance with stadium lights and high bay lights. Foshan Electrical and Lighting, which provides lighting for the China National Youth Football Training Centre, presents its new overseas sports lighting product, the F Series stadium lights, manufactured using full aluminium forging technology.

GA-ASI Completes MQ-9B ‘Flight Into Known Icing’ Flight Tests

SAN DIEGO, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has conducted a series of flight tests aimed at certifying the MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) for Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI). The flight tests began last year, and all planned testing was successfully completed in early April from GA-ASI's Flight Test & Training Center (FTTC) near Grand Forks, North Dakota, using a company-owned MQ-9B.The FIKI flights build on earlier successful flight tests to evaluate flight characteristics with simulated ice shapes adhered to the aircraft as well as the aircraft's successful Cold Weather Validation and flights in the Arctic. FIKI certification will expand MQ-9B's abilities to provide all-weather surveillance capabilities for the many nations that have purchased the system for their military and civil support missions.The tests were flown using GA-ASI Internal Research and Development funding."We've approached these flight tests with great rigor," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "GA-ASI became the first RPA developer to receive a Military Type Certificate for MQ-9B (RAF Protector) last year, and now we're taking steps toward certifying the platform for FIKI. It's taking the resolve of GA-ASI to get this done for our user base."GA-ASI customers are looking for MQ-9B to operate in a full range of environmental conditions, from very hot to very cold, as well as icy conditions. One such customer is the Government of Canada, which has ordered 11 MQ-9B SkyGuardians®. The Canadian Directorate of Technical Airworthiness and Engineering Support, Canada's national military certification authority, was on site for portions of the flight test period and will use artifacts from the flights to certify MQ-9B to operate in FIKI conditions.The MQ-9B SkyGuardian and its maritime variant, SeaGuardian®, are multi-mission, multi-domain RPA that can operate in cold weather conditions. MQ-9B aircraft are being flown by the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force, Belgian Defence, and the Japan Coast Guard. In addition to Canada, MQ-9B has been selected by Denmark, Poland, Germany, Taiwan, India, and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command.

Henry Tang, President of The Legion d’Honneur Club, calls for international cooperation to overcome rising protectionism

HONG KONG, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Henry Tang said today at the inaugural Asia-Pacific Symposium organised by The Legion d’Honneur Club that rising geopolitical tensions and protectionism reinforce the need to build a community with a shared future for mankind—a call made by the Chinese Mainland in which Hong Kong has an important role to play.The Legion d’Honneur Club is the Hong Kong chapter of the Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur (the Hong Kong Chapter). The Legion d’Honneur is the highest and most prestigious civilian and military honour of France, instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802 and conferred by the President of France to recognise outstanding service or acts of bravery.The inaugural Asia-Pacific Symposium, titled Regional Exchange and Institutional Cohesion, was held today. Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government, Admiral Alain Coldefy, President of the Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur, and Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, officiated at the event. In addition, Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the HKSAR Government, shared with participants, including representatives from Australia, France, the Philippines, and Thailand, the development of Hong Kong as an international financial centre. (Photo 1, 2 & 3)In the welcome remarks, Henry Tang said that Hong Kong’s strength lies in international exchange and cooperation. Hong Kong has long been a staunch advocate of multilateralism as well as open and free economy. The city’s legal and financial infrastructure aligns with international standards. Under the principle of “One Country, Two Systems”, Hong Kong stands as an international financial centre and a global hub for business and culture, championing diversity, openness, and inclusion.He added that Hong Kong’s future brings vast opportunities. The National 15th Five-Year Plan clearly mandates that Hong Kong maintains its status as an international financial centre while developing an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange and an international I&T hub. Strategically located at the southeastern tip of China and serving as a pivotal gateway between China and the rest of the world, Hong Kong will certainly benefit from the development of our motherland.The Hong Kong Chapter will continue to deepen cooperation with its French counterparts—especially the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong & Macau—to pursue joint efforts in education, science, and culture, said Henry Tang, to enrich public life.He concluded that the true legacy of the Legion d’Honneur is not the medals they wear, but the trust they build. The Hong Kong Chapter will continue to serve as a dynamic global stage where that trust is translated into tangible action and meaningful impact.20 April 2026Photo 1: (From left to right) Gerard Millet, Vice president of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter); Admiral Alain Coldefy, President of the Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur; Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government; Henry Tang, President of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter), and Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau.Photo 2: The Legion d’Honneur Club holds its first Asia-Pacific Symposium today, attended by Henry Tang, President of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter) (second right); Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government (fourth right); Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau (first right); Gerard Millet, Vice president of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter) (first left); Councillors of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter): David Li (third right); Michael Kadoorie (third left), and Christopher Cheng (second left).Photo 3: (From left to right) Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the HKSAR Government, and Henry Tang, President of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter).About The Legion d’Honneur ClubThe Legion d’Honneur Club is the Hong Kong chapter of The Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur (the Hong Kong Chapter). It was established in 2002. The Club fosters connections and creates opportunities for cross-cultural exchange, promoting French culture, language, and the arts between the HKSAR of China and France.

多变时势 家族办公室:增加现金及优质资产配置待出击

香港, 2026年4月20日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) – 在一场私人投资峰会上,美国前财长及联储局前主席耶伦(Janet Yellen)指出,美国利率政策前景仍然存在变量,惟当前就业市场仍然疲弱,假如要在目前作出判断,她估计今年内联储局有机会减息一次。作为为亚洲领先家族办公室之一的黑桃资本总裁兼首席执行官谭志伟先生(Dennis Tam)补充,近期国际油价急升令全球通胀压力加剧。连锁影响延伸至航空、制造、物流、农业与消费等行业,企业与家庭面临更高成本与波动;在此情况下,虽不排除减息,但空间有限。在这样的背景下,多数亚洲家族办公室一向务实审慎;现阶段着重提高现金比重与配置高质素固定收益产品,以维持充足流动性,并继续密切留意政策与市场讯号、避免过度杠杆。同时,美国财赤持续扩大、国债规模接近40万亿美元,占GDP约120%;庞大的财政赤字与维持低税率的政治压力并存,意味着市场结构与政策取向或将反复调整。在未来6至12个月,投资者可以考虑参考巴郡增加现金持仓至较高水平的策略,并提升配置具战略性、防御性强与收益稳定的资产,正如近期巴郡增持Chubb、United Healthcare Group 和 Tokio Marine等公司股份 。在与耶伦的短暂交流中,谭先生感觉到分散风险(diversify)确实是个重点。在目前的环球局势下,短期稳守并耐心等待联准局释出更明确信号亦不失为一个可取的策略。图片说明: 黑桃资本总裁兼首席执行官谭志伟先生(右)及前美国财政部部长及美国联邦储备局主席耶伦博士 有关黑桃资本有限公司黑桃资本有限公司乃何猷龙先生的家族办公室,负责管理何先生的私人资产及财富项目。总部设于香港,公司的全球投资组合包涵广泛的跨境投资项目,而公司亦致力发掘新的投资机遇。黑桃资本的投资策略旨在广泛覆盖地理区域及行业,同时保持多元化资产类别,投资组合包括股票、债券、房地产、医疗科技、文化产业、绿色能源和上市前投资的项目。2023 年 8 月,黑桃资本发起的空白支票公司 (SPAC) Black Spade Acquisition Co 与VinFast Auto Ltd 完成了 230 亿美元的业务合并。黑桃资本发起的第二家SPAC Black Spade Acquisition II Co在上市后约9 个月后的2025 年 6 月成功与全球领先媒体及娱乐巨头The Generation Essentials Group 完成业务合并。黑桃资本的第三家SPAC Black Spade Acquisition III Co于在2026 年 1 月上市。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Family Offices in Times of Uncertainty: Boost Cash Positions and Deploy High-Quality Assets

HONG KONG, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - At a private investment summit, Janet Yellen, former U.S. Treasury Secretary and former Chair of the Federal Reserve, noted that the outlook for U.S. interest rate policy remains uncertain. However, citing the current weakness in the labour market, she estimated that if a judgement were to be made today, there is a chance the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates once within this year. Mr. Dennis Tam, President and CEO of Black Spade, one of Asia’s leading family offices, added that the recent oil price shock has intensified global inflationary pressures. The ripple effects are spreading across the aviation, manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, and consumer sectors, leaving both businesses and households facing higher costs and greater volatility. Under these circumstances, while interest rate cuts are not impossible, the room for easing is limited.Against this backdrop, most Asian family offices remain pragmatic and cautious. At this stage, the focus is on increasing cash holdings and allocating to high quality fixed-income products to maintain ample liquidity, while closely monitoring policy and market signals and avoiding excessive leverage. Meanwhile, the U.S. fiscal deficit continues to surge, with the size of debt approaching US$40 trillion, or approximately 120% of the country’s GDP. Large fiscal deficits combined with political pressure to maintain low tax rates suggest that market structures and policy directions may undergo repeated adjustments.Over the next six to 12 months, investors may consider making reference to Berkshire Hathaway’s approach of increasing cash holdings to a higher level, as well as raising allocations to strategic and defensive assets with stable returns, notably the recent acquisitions of stakes in Chubb, United Healthcare Group and Tokio Marine. In the brief exchange with Dr. Yellen, Mr. Tam felt that diversifying risk was indeed an important point. Under the current global landscape, a viable strategy in the short term may be to remain vigilant and patiently await clearer signals from the Federal Reserve.Photo caption: Mr. Dennis Tam, President and CEO of Black Spade (right) and Dr. Janet Yellen, former US Treasury Secretary and former Chair of the Federal ReserveAbout Black Spade Capital Limited Black Spade Capital Limited is an established family office that manages the private investments of Mr. Lawrence Ho.
