ASIA PACIFIC – OFF THE BEATEN TRACK

Setting the scene

APAC broadly enjoys high levels of economic growth and will certainly remain key to the global economy during the next few years as these nations continue their rapid development. This growth will ensure that the region’s asset management industry, currently accounting for around 17 percent of global assets under management, will continue to flourish in the years ahead. For internationally focused asset managers, this environment presents many opportunities to either enter this dynamic market or continue to expand their existing presence.
For managers that have not yet journeyed down the APAC route or those with a limited presence in the region, we believe now is the right time to harness these markets through appropriate fund distribution solutions. With more than 30 highly diverse national markets to choose from, a researched, strategic and targeted roadmap is essential for successful regional entry or expansion.
