The company delivers customised portfolio management services covering equities, fixed income, hedge funds and private equity.

The announcement comes just days after the securities regulator in China moved closer to a normalization of market functions when it announced after four months that it was removing the ban on new IPOs it had imposed at the height of this summer’s stock market collapse.

Nippon Capital Asset Management executive vice-president and co-CIO Charles Worth said: "India is promising but we feel there is much to be done in terms of a solid regulatory framework before we would consider committing the resources necessary to establish a foothold there."

In 2015, the firm has increased its funds under management, strengthened its roster of institutional clients and hired key industry luminaries to senior positions within its senior management infrastructure.
