Rede opens Hong Kong office, appoints Asia head

The Hong Kong base will serve as a hub for expanded activity across the region. Rede has applied to the Securities & Futures Commission for a type-one license that covers dealing in securities. Wan will assume responsibility for Asian investor coverage and provide advisory services for GPs across the region, supporting GP-led transactions, fund financing, and fundraising.

Wan previously spent nearly nine years at Atlantic Pacific, co-leading Asian advisory and investor coverage. Before that, he served as an investment professional at secondaries and private equity fund-of-funds manager Pomona Capital.

“The private markets in Asia sit at an important juncture of development. Asian LP interest and allocation to the asset class is seeing a step-change, with maturing high-quality Asian managers and their investment programs presenting a fertile ground for the next generation of dynamic growth in the region,” Wan said in a statement.

Rede was established in 2011 and has since raised more than EUR 67bn (USD 73.1bn) across primary fundraisings and GP‐led secondary transactions. In 2021, 13 primary fundraising clients reached final closes with over EUR 20bn in commitments, while the firm advised on six GP-led secondaries worth EUR 2bn. It employs more than 100 people in London, New York, and Hong Kong.
