SINGAPORE, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Synpulse, a leading global consulting firm for financial services, has published a new report entitled "External Asset Management in Singapore and Hong Kong" examining the evolving External Asset Management (EAM) landscape in Asia. While this report was developed in collaboration with the Association of Independent Wealth Managers Singapore (AIWM) and the Family Office Association Hong Kong (FOAHK), it is leveraging regulatory insights, the Synpulse proprietary EAM databank, and views from key APAC thought leaders and examines the growing relevance of the EAM sector and the challenges accompanying its continued expansion.
According to the report, EAMs have become an established and significant segment within the wealth management ecosystem, managing approximately 7% and 9% of total wealth in Singapore and Hong Kong respectively. This growth reflects increasing demand for independent, client‑centric wealth management models across the region.
