External Asset Management & Family Offices

Single family offices (SFO), external asset managers (EAM) and financial intermediaries (FIM) have become a growing force in Asia’s wealth management industry, with significant growth expected over the next few years. An established model in Europe, independent boutiques are now gathering pace in Asia, fueled by the growing need from end clients for independent and impartial construction of their wealth management portfolio’s.

Typically established by entrepreneurial relationship managers, they have adopted this model to offer strategic asset allocation and a multi-manager approach, as a ‘trusted advisor’ to their loyal and key client network. Through strong collaboration with custodian banks, clients continue to obtain reassurance from larger institutions whilst receiving access to bespoke and product diversity packaged for their individual investment needs.

Partnering with custodian banks, independent wealth managers and their clients can receive access to numerous product platforms, solution experts and the research capabilities of major international private banks, to help them manage their clients’ wealth effectively.
