Acadian Asset Management Wins Three Accolades at Asian Private Banker's 2027 Asset Management Awards for Excellence
SINGAPORE – November 5, 2026 – Acadian Asset Management LLC, a leading global systematic investment manager, is pleased to announce that it has received three accolades at Asian Private Banker’s (“APB”) 2027 Asset Management Awards for Excellence:
- Best Fund Provider – Quantitative Equity
- Best Fund Provider – Greater China Equity
- Highly Commended – Emerging Market Equity
APB’s Asset Management Awards for Excellence identify and honour the region’s leading third-party providers of asset management products and services to private banks in Asia Pacific.
The Quantitative Equity award recognises Acadian’s longstanding expertise in systematic investing, drawing on a diversified, multi-factor approach to identify investment opportunities across a broad global universe of securities. The Greater China Equity award reflects the strength of Acadian’s China A-share capabilities, while the Emerging Market Equity commendation highlights the firm’s more than three decades of experience navigating emerging markets.
Francis Seah, Managing Director at Acadian Asset Management Singapore, said, “For four decades, Acadian has managed assets for some of the world’s most sophisticated institutional investors, including central banks and sovereign wealth funds in Asia. We are honoured that Asian Private Banker has recognised our efforts to extend these institutional-grade capabilities to the private banks and wealth clients in the region. These awards reflect the increasing sophistication and growing demand among Asian wealth investors for disciplined, data-driven approaches that have long been the preserve of larger institutions.”
George Koh, Director of Wholesale Markets at Acadian Asset Management Singapore, added, “Private banks and wealth managers in Asia are increasingly looking for differentiated sources of return that complement traditional active and passive allocations. Being recognised by APB across Quantitative Equity, Greater China Equity and Emerging Market Equity is particularly meaningful as we broaden access to our systematic capabilities through the region's wealth management platforms.”
Acadian continues to deepen its presence in Asia, with Singapore serving as a key regional hub for trading, operations and client engagement, and a growing capability to partner private banks, family offices and wealth intermediaries.
