Benedict Ho is a seasoned investment professional with over two decades of experience across institutional asset management, hedge funds, and digital assets. He previously served as Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of MaiCapital, where he helped build one of Hong Kong’s early institutional virtual asset platforms. He is now the Founder of Block Ventures Group, focused on AI, digital assets, quant-driven strategies, and next-generation financial infrastructure.
Benedict's career has unfolded across three distinct institutional chapters, each adding a different dimension to his investment discipline and worldview.
Chapter One — Multi-Billion-Dollar Hedge Fund Operations. Benedict began his institutional career within a hedge fund platform overseeing approximately USD 6 billion in assets under management, generating risk-adjusted alpha across global markets. This chapter sharpened his thinking on portfolio construction, leverage, derivatives, market microstructure, and how serious capital actually behaves under stress.
Chapter Two — Pension Fund Management at Fubon Bank. Benedict subsequently moved to Fubon Bank, where he managed long-duration pension fund mandates. His core responsibility was the stewardship of retirement capital on behalf of beneficiaries who could not afford to lose it. This chapter cemented his investment philosophy: fiduciary discipline, strict capital preservation, multi-decade liability matching, and a deep respect for downside risk. Pension fund management is, in his view, the purest form of long-horizon institutional investing — and it remains the lens through which he evaluates every opportunity today.
Chapter Three — Fintech & the Regulated Digital Asset Industry. As Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of MaiCapital, Benedict helped build one of Hong Kong's first SFC-licensed virtual asset fund managers, designing regulated digital asset strategies and pioneering tokenization as an extension of institutional capital markets. His work during this period contributed to MaiCapital being ranked Top 3 Asia Hedge Fund by Preqin in 2021 H1. He is the inventor of an open-ended fund tokenization and trading system (Patent No. 1832119) and is now Founder of Block Ventures Group — his next platform, focused on AI, digital assets, quant-driven strategies, and next-generation financial infrastructure.
His investment approach is defined by selectivity, structural thinking, and a focus on long-term value creation. Areas of interest include artificial intelligence, quant trading, digital assets, RWA tokenization, stablecoins, and the financial infrastructure of the next decade. His weekly column 虛產攻略 in the Hong Kong Economic Journal (信報) reflects this institutional perspective applied to a rapidly evolving market.
Through Stanford Ventures, Benedict Ho deploys proprietary capital into selective opportunities with durable structural potential.

Alongside this, Block Ventures Group is being built as his next platform focused on AI, digital assets, and financial infrastructure.

Benedict Ho has over two decades of institutional experience in retirement fund management. At Fubon Bank he managed long-duration pension fund mandates with strict fiduciary, capital preservation and risk-adjusted return discipline. He is currently building MPFgo.hk, a Hong Kong MPF analytics and comparison platform designed to help MPF members make informed, data-driven decisions about their Mandatory Provident Fund holdings — including fee analysis, fund performance comparison and retirement adequacy modelling. His career foundation in pension fund stewardship informs how he thinks about long-horizon institutional capital and Hong Kong's retirement system.
As Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of MaiCapital, Benedict helped build one of Hong Kong's first SFC-licensed virtual asset fund management companies. He is a recognised cryptocurrency expert in Hong Kong, with deep experience in Bitcoin, institutional crypto trading, derivatives, market microstructure, RWA (real-world asset) tokenisation, stablecoin regulation and DeFi infrastructure. He is the inventor of an open-ended fund tokenisation and trading system (Patent No. 1832119) and writes the weekly 虛產攻略 column in the Hong Kong Economic Journal (信報) — covering institutional crypto adoption, virtual asset regulation, market structure and digital asset risk management.
Through Block Ventures Group, Benedict invests in artificial intelligence, quantitative trading strategies and next-generation financial infrastructure. His earlier career within an institutional hedge fund platform overseeing approximately USD 6 billion in AUM gave him deep familiarity with leverage, risk-adjusted alpha generation and how serious capital actually behaves under stress — experience which contributed to MaiCapital being ranked Top 3 Asia Hedge Fund by Preqin in 2021 H1.
For thoughtful opportunities in private equity, technology, digital finance, or institutional infrastructure, Benedict Ho welcomes relevant introductions and conversations.
Current focus remains on opportunities where business quality, technology, and long-term strategic value intersect.
