A startup life, for these two fund managers

IN humble digs at the Regus business centre at Suntec City Tower 2 sit two fund managers planning to make a name for themselves.

From inauspicious beginnings in May 2015 right before the China crash, Astral Asset Management has grown from US$5 million in initial capital to US$13 million of assets under management (AUM) today.

The Astral Value Fund, which the firm manages, has returned 18.5 per cent from inception till end-May this year.
