27th January | Hong Kong
United States asset manager Federated Hermes ($871 billion AUM) has announced plan to open an office in Hong Kong, which currently has 3 offices in APAC with Singapore, Tokyo & Sydney. Federated Hermes was founded in 1955 in United States by John Donahue, Richard Fisher & Thomas Donnelly with $78 million AUM. Federated Hermes manages assets in equity, fixed income & private markets, and provides multi-asset strategies & liquidity-management solutions. Announcement (26/1/26): “Federated Hermes, a global leader in active investment management, today announces, at the Asian Financial Forum in Hong Kong, its plans to open an office in the city to capitalise on the region’s rapidly growing wealth market. The announcement marks a strategic expansion as the firm deepens relationships with private banks, family offices, wealth intermediaries and institutional investors across the Asia-Pacific region. Subject to regulatory and other necessary approvals, the planned Hong Kong office will further strengthen Federated Hermes’ established Asia‑Pacific footprint, which includes existing regional offices in Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney. The firm has maintained a presence in the region since 2010. The Hong Kong expansion reflects Federated Hermes’ strategic focus on Asia’s wealth and retail distribution segments, where the firm sees significant opportunity as client portfolios grow more sophisticated and distribution models shift towards long-term partnerships. This builds on the firm’s established institutional presence across the region. Federated Hermes’ Asia strategy centres on a consultative distribution model. The firm works to align its investment capabilities, research insights and global networks with the evolving needs of wealth clients navigating increasingly complex market environments. Hong Kong’s position as a premier international wealth and asset management hub makes it a natural location for Federated Hermes’ expansion. The office will enhance the firm’s on-the-ground client coverage and support its long-term regional growth strategy across both wealth and institutional channels. The move underscores Federated Hermes’ commitment to the Asia-Pacific region, where demographic trends, wealth creation and evolving investor sophistication continue to create opportunities for active investment managers with differentiated capabilities. Federated Hermes will focus its efforts this year on securing licensing approval from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and completing the required registrations. Jim Roland, Head of Distribution for Asia Pacific at Federated Hermes: “Asia continues to be one of the fastest-growing wealth markets globally, with clients increasingly seeking partners who can support more sophisticated investment strategies and portfolio construction. Establishing a presence in Hong Kong enables us to work even more closely with partners and clients on the ground, providing localised service and expertise.” Federated Hermes – Federated Hermes is guided by the conviction that responsible investing is the best way to create long-term wealth. We provide specialised capabilities across equity, fixed income and private markets, in addition to multi-asset strategies and proven liquidity-management solutions. Through our world-leading stewardship services, we engage companies on strategic and sustainability concerns to promote investors’ long-term performance and fiduciary interests. Our goals are to help individuals invest and retire better, to help clients achieve better risk-adjusted returns, and to contribute to positive outcomes in the wider world.
