S.E.A. Funds newly registered in Singapore for distribution under the Restricted Scheme for Accredited Investors

Wednesday, November 25, 2015
Opalesque Industry Update - S.E.A. Asset Management Pte Ltd has announced that its two UCITS SICAV investment funds are now registered in Singapore for Distribution under the Restricted Scheme for Accredited Investors as of November 20, 2015.

“Our next step for markets where our funds are now registered is to engage banks and financial advisors as distribution partners. In addition will continue to register our funds for distribution in several other countries in Europe and Asia. Planned for the near future is registration in Switzerland to distribute to qualified investors.” said Alexander Zeeh, CEO of S.E.A. AM.

“We believe value has emerged in the small and midcap South East Asian equities. By 2030 ASEAN is expected to be the 4th largest economic block globally. South East Asian equities should outperform and small & midcap stocks are the best way to participate in this regional growth theme. Meanwhile our Asian short duration high yield fund strategy is unique and this segment continues to give attractive yields due to lower average default rates and lower balance sheet leverage when compared to European or US high yield bonds. The short duration is the reason behind their low volatility.”

Both the S.E.A. Asian High Yield Bond Fund and the S.E.A. Asian Equity Discovery Fund under the S.E.A. Funds umbrella fund in Luxembourg will be managed by Gallen Tay, CIO at S.E.A. Asset Management out of Singapore. The funds are currently registered for distribution in Singapore, Luxembourg and Germany.

S.E.A. Asset Management Pte Ltd is an independent financial services firm offering customised asset and fund management solutions for private accredited investors and institutional investors. The firm specialises in Asian equities and Asian high yield bonds. S.E.A. was established in 2007 and formerly known as Copar Finance Asset Management Singapore Pte Ltd.
