Natixis Investment Managers’ affiliate and specialist in global macro-strategy investments strategies, H2O Asset Management, has announced plans to set up its first office in Asia, along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, H2O Asset Management Asia.

The Singapore-based office would apply the same investment philosophy and process of it London’s headquarters, the firm said.

It would also be expected to assist the London office by co-managing its assets through expanding the trading time zone to include Asia and, in return, it would expand H2O’s investment universe.

The firm said that its plans regarding Asian expansion followed closely from the recent opening of its office in Paris.

Phillip Chow, who was appointed to run the Singapore office, said that the Asian presence would help have stronger insights on Asian investments, and would allow the firm to better understand local intricacies.

“The Singapore office provides H2O with the opportunity to enhance local investment capabilities in the region capturing a rapidly expanding, and increasingly important market. I am excited about this launch in Singapore as we enter the next phase of growth for the company,” he said.
