DMS Governance, a fund governance, risk and compliance services provider, has expanded its presence into the Asia Pacific by launching an office in Singapore.
The firm, which established its Hong Kong office six years ago, said that the new Singapore facility will serve clients in a range of areas such as banking and custody, AIFMD/UCITS and International Tax Compliance (FATCA/CRS).

“This new location means the value of our offering has been further strengthened, as we now offer professional, independent directors in the Asia time zone (SGT) and with fluency in Mandarin and Cantonese language skills that are key to the region,” the firm said in a statement.
The firm appointed a new team for the Singapore location. The new office will also include Connie Wong, who will move from the firm’s Hong Kong office to the new location.
Wong, formerly a manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers, has experience in hedge funds and private equities for offshore and on shore vehicles in several markets.
DMS CEO Anne Storie said: “The recent and continued expansion of our Asian client base is further evidence of our team’s tireless work to develop a strong network of clients across various fund structures. The addition of a Singapore office means that DMS is now even better placed geographically to continue to achieve best results for its clients in this region.”
