APS Asset Management
APS Asset Management was founded in 1995 by its CIO, Wong Kok Hoi, in Singapore. The firm, one of the pioneer homegrown boutiques, has grown significantly since: It started with assets under management of about USD15 million, which has since grown to USD3.0 billion as at end-September 2017; APS started with 7 staff and 1 office, which has expanded to 60 staff and 6 offices worldwide as at end-September 2017. The core values and vision of APS hasn't changed, though. Mr Wong founded APS to 1) serve global institutional asset owners; 2) specialize in Asian investments; and 3) employ investigative research and independent thinking in the investment process. All three foundations have remained constant throughout APS' history. Today, nearly 80% of our AUM are from pensions, endowments and foundations and the rest are from family offices, financial institutions, sovereign wealth funds, corporates and high-networth individuals.
