Philosophy

We are dedicated to working alongside Asia Pacific’s best investment managers. We work according to a fund manager’s goals and wishes whether it be a concerted marketing effort or a rifle-shot approach.

As placement agent, we seek a long-term mutually beneficial relationship with an investment manager by working to their goals.

Our deep knowledge of the Asia Pacific fund manager industry positions us in a privileged role of assisting investors with their search for investment expertise in the region. We seek to build on the trust and reputation we have developed with investors over many years to act as an additional screen on their investment selection process.

We have a prompt and efficient culture which is helped by hard work.

Track Record

Raised approx. $3 billion for boutique Asian managers.
