Matthews Asia is headquartered in San Francisco and specializes in investing in Asia and the emerging markets. Since it was founded in 1991, the firm has used an active approach that focuses on identifying the most attractive long-term growth opportunities in these regions.

“Matthews Asia is a specialist boutique with an excellent reputation and performance that naturally complements the other fund managers we represent. With this asset manager, we bring to our investors the possibility of taking exposure to a geographic area that is becoming increasingly important in the global economy,” says Cristina Rubio, partner at Capital Strategies Partners and head of the project.
Neil Steedman, Head of Business Development EMEA and Asia at Matthews Asia, said: “Matthews Asia has been at the forefront of providing investors with a broad range of choices to build exposure to Asia and broader emerging markets.
