Singapore should anchor hedge fund leaders, nurture local managers amid regional talent war: observers
Cultivating local funds and talent pool entrenches the decision-makers who truly drive capital here

Attracting senior investment professionals could create a multiplier effect, bringing investment teams and demand for functions spanning research, technology, risk management, legal and compliance, they added.
That could help turn higher assets under management into greater-value jobs and deeper expertise on the ground.
