Why Ink Well

What makes the difference at this stage

Written, not generic

Every participant finishes with a written document — not a mood board or an app dashboard. A real, considered plan they can revisit and revise.

Grounded and balanced

Courses do not advocate a single approach. They present the real trade-offs — between paying down debt and maintaining liquidity, between settling a mortgage and keeping options open.

HK-specific context

The Hong Kong mortgage market operates differently from elsewhere. P-based and H-based structures, local bank practices, and MPF interactions are covered in full.

Right decade to act

The 40s and 50s are when debt decisions carry the most weight before retirement. This is the window where thoughtful action makes the clearest difference.

Peer cohort learning

Courses run in small groups of participants at similar life stages. The shared context makes discussions more relevant and the learning more direct.

No products sold

Ink Well courses are educational. No financial products are recommended or sold. The courses exist to help participants think clearly, not to direct them toward any particular solution.

Common Questions

Questions about the courses

Who are these courses designed for?
The courses are designed for Hong Kong residents in their 40s and 50s who hold debt — typically a residential mortgage, and sometimes credit card or personal loan obligations — and are beginning to think carefully about how that debt interacts with retirement planning. Participants do not need to be financial professionals.
How are the courses delivered?
Sessions are held in Causeway Bay at our Eton Tower offices, typically on weekday evenings or Saturday mornings to accommodate working schedules. Each programme has a small group format — usually between six and twelve participants — to allow meaningful discussion.
Do the courses offer financial advice?
No. The courses are educational in nature. They provide frameworks, context, and worked examples to help participants think through their own situations. They do not recommend specific financial products, lenders, or investment approaches. Participants who need personalised advice are encouraged to consult a licensed financial adviser.
Which course should I start with?
If you have not previously reviewed your full debt position, the four-week Debt Review course is a natural starting point. If your primary concern is your mortgage — its structure, remaining term, and whether to settle it before retirement — the six-week Mortgage Strategy course addresses that directly. The Full Programme brings both together for those who want comprehensive coverage.
What is the time commitment per week?
Each week involves one session of approximately two and a half hours, plus some reading and a short worksheet to prepare for the following session. Most participants find two to three hours of personal preparation is sufficient to keep pace.
Can I access materials after the course ends?
All course materials, worksheets, and reading guides remain available to enrolled participants for twelve months following the course completion date. Participants in the Full Programme also retain their written debt plan as a working document to update independently.
What is the refund and cancellation policy?
A full refund is available if cancellation is made more than seven days before the course start date. Cancellations within seven days of the start date are eligible for a 50% refund or a transfer of enrolment to a future cohort. Please contact us directly to discuss your circumstances.
