Singapore: Emerging Hub for Asian Hedge Funds
Stefan Steiner visited several hedge fund managers in Singapore, exploring the city's growing role as a financial hub amidst regional shifts, while India's rapid economic expansion continues to create new opportunities.
India is growing fast with a pro-business government that is investing on a large scale in the economy and the country’s infrastructure India has surpassed China with 1.5 bn people as the largest population and is on track to cross USD 5 trn in GDP by 2027 Singapore is a beneficiary of the increasingly restrictive policies in Hong Kong which boosted its financial sector and the number of hedge fund boutiques that moved to Singapore Our preferred managers for the Japanese market are based in Singapore as it is still very complex and expensive to get all the necessary asset management and trading licenses for offshore hedge funds in Japan Asian long/short equity, equity market neutral, and macro managers based in Singapore have also been doing well in an environment of more opportunities and a higher risk free rate
