Investment firms are accelerating private wealth hires across Asia in 2025, reinforcing the region’s growing role as a global wealth management hub. Coller Capital has appointed Peter Wu as Head of Product Management, Private Wealth in Singapore, while Pak-Seng Lai will lead Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions Distribution in Asia Pacific from Hong Kong. Blue Owl, which launched its first products in Japan this year, continues its expansion into Australia. Partners Group, leveraging its Hong Kong presence, is tapping into the region’s talent pool as it strengthens private wealth offerings. Firms see Asia’s rising affluence and high-net-worth-individual demand as key drivers of expansion in the sector.
