SuperReturn Asia: Key Takeaways from the leading Private Capital Conference in Asia

Sep 23, 2022

SuperReturn Asia is Asia's leading private capital conference where key decision-makers gather to network and to discuss the latest insights in Asian private markets.

Thanks, Ayyaz Ahmad for sending us to attend the SuperReturn Asia. 

It was an insightful event to hear from expert speakers on the latest developments in Asian private markets; what are the latest trends, how to generate alpha, and what the challenges are. On top of that, excitedly, I also got to see familiar faces in person! 

Adding to that, this event is especially meaningful too, as this is the first time SuperReturn is held in Singapore and is the first high-profile conference held in person after two years of global pandemic measures.

My Key Takeaway

South and Southeast Asia is most interesting but is also the most difficult, as in; How to get good local managers, good local talents, and being on the ground. 

And yes, those concerns seem to be the common topics that surfaced in the conversations I had with some of the delegates looking to set up shops here in Singapore, to capture the vast opportunities in Asia.

And for those who have missed the keynote address by Ravi Menon - Managing Director, Monetary Authority of Singapore here is the link to his speech text:

Others

A great shout out to Mini Zhao, who was managing her exhibition stand all by herself, while others would usually have at least 2 people to manage. 

And I am glad to have my colleagues: 
Daryl Emmanuelle Ong and ShiHui Kong, participate in this event, despite the last-minute notice. And also thanks to Geana Ong and Daphne Tan for getting the logistics sorted. You are awesome, ladies! The power of teamwork is amazing!
