Our story begins with the union of two family-owned companies, Delta Asia Financial Group and Cone Marshall Group and setting up Delta Asia Cone Marshall Family Office Advisory Limited. Recognizing the potential of joining forces, these two companies came together to create a greater impact in Asia. Delta Asia brings a wealth of experience in banking and financial services, particularly in Hong Kong and Macau, while Cone Marshall originated in New Zealand and has expanded its reach to all continents.
It was during a meeting between Mr. Stanley Au, the chairman of Delta Asia Financial Group, and Mr. Geoffrey Cone, the founder of Cone Marshall Group, that they discovered a shared set of values. They both believed in assisting clients in their succession and wealth planning for their families and future generations. This shared vision led to the development of an extraordinary company culture, characterized by a strong commitment to providing bespoke advice and services to our clients.
Being a financial veteran for over half a century, Mr. Stanley Au is the Chairman of Delta Asia Financial Group, and the Founder and Chairman of The Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Macao and Delta Asia SME Training Institute. In 1982, Mr. Au established Delta Asia Financial Group by merging the family-owned business, Banco Delta Asia in Macao with his own Group, Delta Asia Securities Limited in Hong Kong. Such move lays a solid foundation of the Group in the two cities. Mr. Au is passionate in cultivating a caring society and eager to contribute to social and economic development. He has held various public positions, including Chairman of the International Small Business Congress (“ISBC”), Member of The National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference of the Chinese Central Government and Director of Hospital Kiang Wu Charity Association in Macao. Mr. Au has been recognized by “Financial Times” in London and “Das Kapita” in Germany as one of Hong Kong’s most successful financiers.
