«Asian markets offer enormous prospects for growth for Zedra. Our company is perfectly placed to take advantage of this potential from our new base in Singapore, aligned to a worldwide network of offices in nine other jurisdictions,» said Sim.

To address the growing and increasingly diverse wealth management needs of clients in Hong Kong and mainland China, the Hong Kong office is led by Managing Director, John Ashwood, supported by Executive Director, Mandy Cheng.
