Asset Benchmark Research 22 Oct 2014

As Asian G3 bonds grow in importance, the largest asset managers worldwide are increasing their attention and investments to cover this asset class. The Asset Benchmark Research ranks asset managers based on the votes for Astute Investors gathered by each firm. The ranking for Astute Investors were collated from votes cast by sellside individuals who have direct dealings with portfolio managers. This year, some 224 sellside individuals voted for this annual ranking.

 

For the first time this year, The Asset Benchmark Research also segregated the buyside firms based on institution types – asset managers, hedge funds and private banks. The hedge fund ranking was topped by Nomura Global Capital Management, the hedge fund arm of Nomura Securities of Japan. Ranked next is Saka Capital, started by ex-Lehman trader Assan Din in 2009. The top two hedge funds reflect both the old and the new; principal investing by a securities company and a fund set up as a result of tougher regulation imposed on financial institutions.

The ranking for private banks, which have grown in importance in the G3 market especially following the global financial crisis in 2008, was topped by HSBC Private Bank.

In total, 35 institutions and 182 Astute Investors have been recognized among three institution types: asset managers, hedge funds, and private banks.
