The 27th Sony Open, Hawaii’s only annual professional sporting event, concluded last week at Waialae Country Club, and what an incredible event it was! For the third consecutive year, Regency Capital Management had the privilege of sponsoring this remarkable tournament and supporting the Friends of Hawaii Charities.

As one of the few local small business sponsors, we are deeply honored to contribute to an event that not only showcases world-class golf but also uplifts our community. The Friends of Hawaii Charities, along with its partner the Hawaii Community Foundation, plays a vital role in supporting organizations that serve Hawaii’s women, children, elderly, and those in need.

The Sony Open also offers us a special opportunity to gather with clients, friends, and family in our hospitality tent over the four-day tournament. Our small team at Regency pours immense thought, care, and effort into ensuring the tent experience is welcoming, enjoyable, and memorable for everyone. Yet, the true magic of the tent lies in the people who fill it—you.

To our guests, thank you for your presence, energy, and enthusiasm. Some of you joined in on the cheers for the Regency “friendly” golfers in the field, sipped on a Summer Club drink for the very first time, and spread the word that the Regency tent was the place to be. Others watched Hideki make eagle on Sunday, brought your kids to burn off some energy, took photos with some of the golfers that stopped in to say hello, and enjoyed the refreshing ice cream bars.  We all enjoyed exciting golf and even better company. Each of you played a role in adding to an atmosphere that left a lasting impression, a place where people felt welcome and wanted to revisit.

Thank you once again for your support and for being an integral part of this event, and we now look forward to a prosperous 2025 together! I invite you to read Neil Rose’s most recent investment letter as we prepare for the opportunities the new year will bring.
