Overview

The External Asset Managers (EAM) and Family Offices (FO) industry in Asia is growing rapidly, driven by economic prosperity and rising number of high-net-worth individuals. Singapore is a major hub for such activities in Asia, attracting both global and local players. Competition is intensifying, leading to the need for innovation and personalised digital solutions. EAMs in Europe are also looking for solutions to remain robust and client-centric.

This course aims to provide participants with the knowledge on the market landscape of the EAM and FO industry including its opportunities and challenges. Participants can learn how banks, financial institutions, technology providers, and transformation and innovation leaders can ride on this growing market.
