The new funds will offer individual investors in Hong Kong solutions focused on income distribution, diversification and capital growth opportunities.

Wellington senior managing director and head of Client Group for the Asia Pacific said: “Hong Kong is integral to our Asia strategy and today’s launch is a natural client-servicing progression and an extension of our business commitment to the market.

“Our partners are increasingly merging their private banking and consumer banking units globally – and are looking for products that can be offered across their private and mass affluent client base.”

Wellington is developing its UCITS range across equities, fixed income and multi-asset for the wealth channel across Asia.
