Singapore-headquartered WRISE operates across Asia as well as with a presence in the Middle East.

WRISE Group announced late last week that its WRISE Prestige business – which focuses on mass-affluent clients – has partnered with China Asset Management (Hong Kong). 

The WRISE business will serve as the first launch partner in Hong Kong with a period of exclusive access to the ChinaAMC Select Asia Bond Fund (INC share class), offering clients a fixed income solution designed for yield and diversification. 

To mark the launch of the share class, WRISE Prestige and ChinaAMC (HK) co-hosted an event last week to introduce the investment strategy behind the ChinaAMC Select Asia Bond Fund.

The ChinaAMC Select Asia Bond Fund adopts an unconstrained investment approach, allowing the fund manager to capitalise on opportunities across Asian credit markets dynamically. Recent geopolitical strains have triggered significant volatility across global financial markets, making diversified, income-oriented strategies that can navigate geopolitical uncertainty paramount for sophisticated investors seeking portfolio resilience. The fund targets a dividend yield of about 9 per cent.

“In today's volatile geopolitical landscape, investors require solutions that can adapt to changing conditions while delivering consistent income. The ChinaAMC Select Asia Bond Fund embodies this approach, offering flexible mandate and strong yield potential that make it a valuable addition to our curated platform,” Henry Shin, CEO of WRISE Prestige, said.

Barney Gao, head of strategic client development at China Asset Management (Hong Kong), added: “This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering innovative and performance-driven investment solutions to a broader audience. With its focus on Asian bond markets and a flexible investment strategy, the fund is well-suited to meet the income and diversification needs of investors in the region.”

The WRISE Prestige business was launched – as covered here – in February to cover the mass-affluent market, and the next generation of high net worth individuals in Asia-Pacific. WRISE is working on the basis that by 2030 Asia's middle class will amount to more than 3.5 billion people, with Southeast Asia’s mass-affluent individuals forecast to reach 136 million. As reported in February, WRISE opened a new client service centre in Taipei, Taiwan. Headquartered in Singapore, WRISE Group operates across Dubai, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Changsha, Tokyo and Taipei. It is built on three core business lines, WRISE Private, WRISE Prestige and WRISE Capital, serving high net worth and ultra-high net worth families through an integrated regional platform.
