NEPC forms alliance with Singapore’s GFIA to boost Asia advisory business
NEPC has entered into a research agreement with a Singapore-based investment consultant GFIA to bolster its coverage of Asia-based managers and investment strategies.
This initiative underscores the increasing opportunities for US institutional investors to get boarder investment exposure to Asia, NEPC noted in a statement. It also marks the increasing globalization of the firm's investment research efforts.
"This approach will help us seize advantageous and unique opportunities across the spectrum in Asian markets, from traditional long-only investments to hedge fund and direct investing strategies," NEPC said.
Established in 1998 as a hedge fund consulting firm, GFIA has since expanded to offer a range of financial services, covering asset allocation in Asia and the emerging markets as well as strategic and portfolio advisory and due diligence services.
Based in the US, NEPC provides alternative investment strategies to clients with a total of $695 billion in assets under management.
