SAC Capital reaches out via Singapore

The hedge fund firm is concretising its expansion in Asia with a new office in the island country.

S.A.C. Capital Advisors will have two portfolio managers working in the Singapore office, said a Reuters report. A total of 79 discretionary long/short equity portfolio teams make up S.A.C., more than 12 percent of which focus on Asia/Emerging Markets.

According to the report, investors have been diversifying their portfolios with exposure to Asia amidst the region's lead in this year's global economic turnaround. Eurekahedge data also reveal average gains of 31.1 percent through October by hedge fund managers across Asia, with total assets under management pegged at $102 billion.

Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, S.A.C. adds Singapore to its list of offices in New York, Boston, Chicago, London, and Hong Kong.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
