The partnership will give BEA's wealth management and HNW clients access to a selection of Partners Group's private markets investments. The move shows how the private markets space is continuing to gain traction in regions such as Asia.

Partners Group has entered a new distribution partnership with Bank of East Asia, the Hong Kong-based group.

BEA represents Partners Group's first distribution partner based in Hong Kong, the firms said in a statement. 

The partnership will give BEA's wealth management and high net worth clients access to a selection of Partners Group's private markets investments.

Partners Group, which opened an office in Hong Kong in 2024, has a network of more than 200 distribution partners that serve the private markets needs of individual investors globally. It manages $56 billion across its global private wealth product suite.

“Investors in Asia are increasingly seeking sophisticated, institutional-quality private markets solutions,” Henry Chui, head of private wealth for APAC, Partners Group, said. 

Partners Group, which has $185 billion in assets under management, has a heritage in Switzerland, and a primary presence in Colorado, US.

BEA’s network covers Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland, Macau, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, the UK, and the US.
