Federated Hermes to Open Hong Kong Office in Asia Expansion

Federated Hermes Hong Kong office plans mark a further expansion of the US asset manager’s Asia-Pacific footprint as it seeks to deepen relationships with private banks, family offices and institutional investors.

The firm said the Hong Kong office, announced at the Asia Financial Forum, is subject to regulatory approvals and will support a consultative distribution model across the region.

Jim Roland, head of distribution for APAC, said a Hong Kong presence will allow Federated Hermes to deliver localised service and expertise.

The asset manager has operated in Asia Pacific since 2010 and already maintains offices in Singapore, Tokyo and Sydney, with the Hong Kong office forming a key part of its Asia expansion strategy.
