By Christina Shalhoub, Managing Director, U.S.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

As demand for global exposure continues to grow and allocators increasingly expect managers to\u00a0demonstrate\u00a0international capability, the ability to access\u00a0Asia-Pacific (APAC)\u00a0public markets efficiently, compliantly and at scale has become an important strategic consideration for U.S. asset managers focused on long-term APAC growth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we take a closer look at why\u00a0APAC is so compelling for U.S. managers, with specific focus on Hong Kong,\u00a0Singapore\u00a0and Japan.\u00a0We\u00a0outline the different options for expansion into these markets and\u00a0spotlight what managers should be thinking about as they venture into Asia.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why APAC matters to U.S. asset managers<\/h2>\n

For U.S.\u00a0asset managers\u00a0operating\u00a0in an increasingly competitive and concentrated domestic market, the APAC region has become an attractive source of diversification and growth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. equity markets continue to be dominated by a relatively small group of mega-cap issuers, with IPO activity more constrained and correlations across asset classes rising. In contrast, APAC offers a broader opportunity set \u2013 spanning developed and high-growth emerging markets, earlier-stage public companies, and sectors that are underrepresented in U.S. benchmarks.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
