Investment funds: local firms

Rajah & Tann Asia

Fund management houses turn to the ‘highly sophisticated and well-regarded’ practice at Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP to set up Singapore fund management businesses and private investment funds. The firm houses a robust regulatory practice, focused on the structuring and formation of private investment funds, in addition to the licensing and ongoing regulation of fund managers, and is noted for its expertise in corporate reorganisations and M&A involving Singapore-based managers and investment funds. Eminent practitioner Anne Yeo jointly leads the team alongside Jasmine Chew, who focuses on the formation and restructuring of onshore and offshore investment vehicles, and Philip Yeo. Other key contacts in the group include Arnold Tan, who continues to advise clients on the establishment of both onshore and offshore investment funds, and Zixiang Sun, who has demonstrable experience in the formation of private funds, spanning both open-ended and close-ended funds.
