“We are proud to offer, for the first time, institutional-grade credit investing, traditionally available only to private banking clients, to accredited investor clients of our member firms,” says Ascend Asia CEO Tomas Urbanec. “This collaboration with KKR demonstrates how Ascend Asia unlocks opportunities for financial advisory firms and their consultants, and ultimately for their clients. Creating such access is at the core of our open-architecture model, and we will continue to empower member firms’ accredited investor clients with best-in-class institutional expertise, strategies and solutions.”
Faith Chen, CEO of Ascend Asia Asset Management, says: “Through this new credit strategy, we are equipping member firms’ financial consultants with an institutional-grade product that offers greater choice and sophistication to their accredited investor clients. It is designed to provide income-generating exposure to high-quality credit opportunities, enabling clients to participate in the region’s expanding credit investment landscape.”
