Strong regional growth, a supportive regulatory infrastructure, and conducive financial eco-system are factors which have catalysed the development of the asset management industry in Singapore. Asset managers based in Singapore have a strong pan-Asian coverage and offer a broad and diversified range of investment capabilities, spanning traditional and alternative strategies. This has attracted investors who are keen to participate in the region’s growth.

 

Today, asset management is one of the key segments of our financial sector, directly contributing to the overall economy and even helping to spur activities in other sectors such as foreign exchange and debt markets. As such, fund administration and other related services are expected to be in great demand.

 

The programme is broad-based in nature and exposes the participants to the entire value chain in the fund industry, from front end to back office operations.
