Endowus, a leading independent wealth adviser in Asia, has announced a strategic partnership with Macquarie Asset Management (MAM) to introduce private infrastructure investment solutions to professional and accredited investors in Hong Kong and Singapore. This collaboration marks MAM’s first partnership with a digital wealth platform in Asia, providing Endowus clients access to a diversified portfolio of infrastructure assets traditionally reserved for institutional investors.
The partnership is a significant expansion of Endowus’ private market offerings, which now include private infrastructure alongside hedge funds, private credit, private equity, and real estate. MAM, a global leader in infrastructure investing, manages over $588.1b in assets and has a proven track record, including a record-breaking $15.7b exit of AirTrunk, Asia-Pacific’s largest data centre operator.
Christopher Frost, Senior Managing Director at MAM, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We’re excited to partner with Endowus to bring our leading infrastructure investing expertise to professional and accredited investors in Hong Kong and Singapore.”
Private infrastructure is gaining traction as a resilient asset class, offering lower volatility and acting as an inflation hedge. It provides diversification benefits due to its low correlation with traditional markets. The growth of private infrastructure is driven by megatrends such as decarbonisation and digitisation, which are reshaping global economic development.
Samuel Rhee, Chairman and Group Chief Investment Officer of Endowus, highlighted the benefits of private infrastructure, noting its complementarity to Endowus’ existing offerings and its potential to build resilient, long-term portfolios for clients.
This partnership underscores Endowus’ commitment to expanding its private market offerings and providing comprehensive solutions for its high-net-worth clients, a segment that has seen significant growth in recent months.
