Much of this growth has been driven by the growing base of institutional investors in the region, from large sovereign wealth funds through to small local pension schemes, that have increasingly begun to turn to hedge funds to help meet portfolio liabilities and long-term investment objectives. Recent regulatory reforms that have swept across the region have enabled both fund managers and investors alike to ramp up their activity in the hedge fund space, and this rapid growth is expected to continue over the next few years as more regions for hedge fund activity emerge within Asia-Pacifi c. In this report we look at the state of the hedge fund industry in Asia-Pacifi c by examining both local funds and those from beyond its shores investing in the region.

  • MAPAN: Driving Impact from Birth Beyond Exit
    MAPAN: Driving Impact from Birth Beyond Exit The story of a successful impact VC investment in Southeast Asia Private Equity Class – Section AB Group 7 • Hongmin Choi • Roy Chen • Peter Peng • Ruilong Guo • Vikram Maran • Yu Zhang INSEAD MBA 20D Class – Private Equity Executive Summary This case describes how PT Rekan Usaha Mikro Anda (“PT RUMA,” “RUMA,” or known by its trading name “Mapan”), a social enterprise in Indonesia, leveraged the support from Impact VCs and grew from a small tech start-up to a pan-Indonesia presence that was eventually taken over by Gojek. Apart from making a significant social impact by lifting millions of poor Indonesian families out of poverty, the deal represents one of the earliest successful impact VC investments and one of the largest impact VC deals to date in Southeast Asia. It continues to encourage and attract more impact VC capital to flow into this part of the world. Aldi Haryopratomo, the co-founder and CEO of PT RUMA, embarked on the journey to support the poor by establishing a technologically empowered micro-franchise and micro- finance ecosystem in rural areas of Indonesia. Impact investors such as Patamar Capital and Omidyar Network were instrumental in helping Aldi and his team develop the RUMA (micro- franchising network selling mobile airtime to rural villagers) platform and scale the subsequent Arisan Mapan (microfinancing & online shopping) platform. The case also covers entrepreneur/founder Aldi and key investors’ reflections of the journey as well as the key factors that led to the Company’s success. 1 INSEAD MBA 20D Class – Private Equity Contents Executive Summary ................................................................................................................................

The situation across much of Asia has continued to disrupt normal working patterns with most employees working remotely, amplifying the challenges of running a multi-faceted, international business. Despite these challenges, hiring activity has continued across a variety of functions indicating a willingness amongst managers to push through critical hires. Interestingly, hiring levels were slightly elevated against Q3 2019, although this is likely down to the lack of the summer ‘lull’ when decision makers typically take annual leave. NEWS ▪ UOB Asset Management has partnered with FNZ Group to launch a robo- advisory mobile app for retail investors in Singapore. In similar news, Franklin Templeton in Singapore has partnered with Razer Fintech to roll out a digital wealth management platform to target millennials in Southeast Asia. ◼ Affin Hwang Asset Management has teamed up with Versa Asia Kuala, a Kuala Lumpur-based fintech firm, to launch a digital cash management platform via a mobile app. ▪ AIA Thailand has received licences for private fund management and mutual fund management from Thailand’s regulator for its newly formed investment management subsidiary, AIA Investment Management Thailand. ▪ CCB Principal Asset Management in Hong Kong has been awarded licenses for asset management (Type9) and advising on securities (Type4).
