Built for the space between
Volpe Advisory was founded by two people who understand both sides of the China–Australia corridor — one rooted in mainland China and building in Australia, the other grounded in Hong Kong with a presence across the region. That lived experience is our core advantage.

Specialist locations
We speak both languages
Most advisors know one market. Between David and Martin, we have lived experience across mainland China, Hong Kong, and Australia — which means we understand the cultural, commercial, and regulatory nuances on every side of the equation.
Mainland China
David's roots in mainland China give us genuine understanding of how Chinese businesses operate, make decisions, and approach expansion — not a surface-level read, but firsthand knowledge. [TODO: add David's specific China expertise.]
Hong Kong
Martin's Hong Kong background and regional presence means we understand the unique position HK businesses occupy — operating between Chinese and international business norms, and increasingly looking at markets like Australia. [TODO: expand with Martin's specific HK experience.]
Australia
David is based in Australia and understands the local market, regulatory environment, and business culture from the inside. We don't just advise on Australia — we operate here. [TODO: add specific Australian market expertise.]
