Robeco, which has been operating in Asia Pacific since 2005, already has offices in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea.
The new office is an extension of Rotterdam’s fixed income team, the Dutch firm said.
The office will be led by Robeco client portfolio manager fixed income for the Asian markets Maurice Meijers, who will be supported by two Singapore-based credit analysts.
“Singapore is uniquely positioned as a leading fixed income hub in Asia, with a strong outlook for future growth. Robeco’s pan-Asia business, which includes offices in many key Asian markets, allows us to gain access to local market knowledge and attract local talent. The opening of our Singapore office is another important addition to Robeco’s Asia footprint and will enable us to further expand our fixed income capability to leverage opportunities in the region.”
