The top fund firms by Asia-Pacific AUM: 76-100

AsianInvestor's 2014 ranking of fund houses by assets sourced from Asia Pacific indicates a slowing in overall asset growth, but a pickup in pace among firms headquartered in the region.
The top fund firms by Asia-Pacific AUM: 76-100

The investment industry in Asia is undergoing big changes as regulators move to strengthen their domestic markets through fund passporting and tighter onshore rules for foreign players. Meanwhile, the region’s investors are increasingly allocating to offshore assets. Opportunities may be growing for international fund firms, but so are costs and competition.

Against this backdrop, assets sourced from Asia Pacific grew last year at a slower pace than in 2013, according to AsianInvestor’s annual survey of fund houses. The top 100 by Asia-Pacific AUM ran $39.8 trillion as at September last year, up 6.1% year-on-year.

Global firms’ share of Asia-Pacific assets rose at about the same pace as the previous year (6.81%), but managers in Asia (excluding Australia and Japan) saw their AUM increase by 13.34%, a two-percentage-point rise on 2013. But Australian and Japanese firms recorded minor declines in assets.

Accordingly, the likes of UK-based Baring Asset Management, Australia's Perennial Investment Partners, Swiss firm Pictet Asset Management and GAM slipped down the list. Meanwhile, home-grown Asian players – notably Chinese, Indian and Thai firms – posted impressive gains.

We will publish further sections of the findings over the coming weeks. An extended feature and more details on the findings will appear in the upcoming (February) issue of AsianInvestor magazine.
