Wellington Management
Wellington Management, which oversees more than $1 trillion for institutions, global wealth managers and family offices, has registered three new investment funds in Singapore. 

The new entities are the Wellington Asia Credit Income Fund, Wellington Asia Quality Income Fund, and Wellington Global Equity Income Fund. These offerings concentrate on serving the income and capital growth needs of high net worth individuals and the mass affluent segment.  

“All three funds aim to offer income and capital growth, a feature that is increasingly appealing to retail investors. We’re extending our offering with two Asia-focused funds that provide investors exposure to asset classes with high growth potential that we believe are set to shape the global capital markets in coming decades,” Elizabeth Chisholm, head of client group, Asia-Pacific, said in a statement.  

“The Wellington Asia Credit Income Fund expands the firm’s fixed income platform, while offering further diversification benefits, and potentially attractive risk-return potential. With our two equity income funds, the Wellington Asia Quality Income Fund and Wellington Global Equity Income Fund, we are offering two complimentary approaches: access to dividend-paying Asian companies with a quality focus, as we believe Asia is considered a fertile hunting ground for world-class companies with growing attention to governance and shareholder returns; and a diversified approach to global, large cap companies that can provide potentially robust total returns and steady income,” she added.
