Q2-2016 Swiss-Asia Update
1st August 2016
Dear Readers,
Q2 2016 was busy building the bases for Q3. Business that was acquired in Q1 has been materializing in early Q3. Q2 was a welcome break for the team to consolidate on the successes of 2015. The second half of 2016 will be rich in changes for the firm as we will see new fund formations and new wealth managers join as well as closures and departures.
CAPITAL INTRODUCTION
We held our first Capital Introduction event at the Tower Club in Singapore in April. It was a great success. We saw over 50 attendees that showed great interest in the 6 funds that were presented. Credence, Prulev, Salmon, Insitor, TGCC and Football Finance Note, were all present to meet the Singapore Investor community that ranged from private individuals to sovereign wealth funds.
On the back of this successful event, we have decided to launch the Hong Kong version on the 5th of October 2016.
Please visit http://www.swissasia-group.com/events/#form and enter your credentials so that we can keep you posted on all the new developments. commodity market sector in which it was trading has not been in favor and the situation would continue for an unforeseen period of time. The Portfolio Manager, Per Didrik Leivdal will be tending to his Corporate Finance business until he sees opportunities again in the shipping and commodity sector.
