Asset Management, the asset management arm

new credit-focused investment strategy for accredited investors

Creating such access is at the core of our open-architecture model, and we will continue to empower member firms’ AI clients with best-in-class institutional expertise, strategies and solutions.”
“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 AI clients,” Faith Chen, CEO, Ascend Asia Asset Management, added. “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.”
