Fund/Asset or wealth management specialists who are serious and passionate about their profession want to thrive in an environment where the laws and regulations are clear, business friendly and progressive. They also want easy access to the full range of fund professionals in the industry for advice and support. An independent and efficient judiciary, a safe, stable and reputable international financial centre and conducive tax environment for the fund manager and the funds it manages (if any) are also very important. This bodes well for Singapore which meets all necessary criteria as an ideal venue for starting up an External Asset Manager ("EAM") or Fund Manager.
