Navigating the Asia Funds Service arena

ZEDRA’s team of international specialists including Lisa Tan, Erik-Jan Schoop, Frank Walenta and Alexander de Haseth have the knowledge and capabilities to understand the requests of their clients: providing new and innovative ways to identify quick, targeted solutions that can best support their evolving needs in this dynamic culturally sensitive region.

Currently in Asia more personal financial assets reside here than in Europe, making it the world’s second-largest wealth-management region, behind the United States. The entire Asia-Pacific region blends established, emerging and frontier markets, making the investment universe and subsequent opportunities for clients vast and varied.

To account for these changes, ZEDRA has invested and fine-tuned its suite of service offers to help inspire its clients to garner the support they need. “Our innovation is centred on our clients’ needs as well as market trends and the substantial opportunities arising from new regulatory changes,” says Lisa Tan, ZEDRA Executive Director, Head of Corporate Services, from her Singapore office.

ZEDRA aims to identify the key challenges facing the private wealth management and global funds arena across the region.

“Right now is an exciting time in Asia, though the complexity for investments and other reserves can be daunting, especially with the proliferation of new ETFs and other products, which are launching on a daily basis. Seizing opportunities for those whom we are here to serve requires managing unique risks and challenges: something which we can seamlessly deliver by our dedicated team,” says Alexander de Haseth, Senior Manager, based in Hong Kong.

Some of the key topics and trends we are helping our clients navigate include:

• Growth of smart beta strategies and ETFs
• Private wealth and retirement investing
• Navigating the Asia-Pacific region
• APEC’s Asia Region Funds Passport
