Partners Group has opened an office in Hong Kong, its seventh in the region, according to a statement from the firm.
Henry Chui (pictured) has been picked to spearhead the new office in addition to his role as head or private wealth for Asia Pacific.
Partners Group said in its statement that a priority will be expanding the firm’s private wealth client base by adding distribution partners locally.
“We are very pleased to add a Hong Kong office to our regional footprint. As a major economic centre and regional hub for the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong has a key role to play for private markets,” said Kevin Lu, partner and chairman of Asia.
“We have seen a significant increase in investor appetite for private markets in the Greater China Area and look forward to deepening our relationships with clients and investment partners here.”
“Individual investors in Asia are increasingly looking to private markets as a means to access the real economy. Having boots on the ground in Hong Kong is important to provide local coverage to our distribution partners in the Greater China Area and complements our coverage across the rest of the region,” said Chui.
Partners Group has had a presence in Asia for two decades and currently employees more than 550 people in Manila, Mumbai, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore and Tokyo.
