Boutique funds manager named Hong Kong success story
Australian boutique funds management firm, SWU Group, has been named the Hong Kong Forum's Success Story of the year.
The group, established in 1983 by Simon Wu, was recognised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, for the strength of its connection with the city-state and its use of the city to expand its business into China and other overseas markets.
SWU started out as a public practice accounting firm serving the Chinese community, expanding into financial advice in 1993, "helping local Chinese people secure the financial future", before forming Premium China Funds Management in 2005.
