SRP Apac 2022: AMCs resurface in Asia

Senior executives from banks and crypto trading firms discussed the role of AMCs as a vehicle to access new exposures and as an alternative to traditional funds investors’ portfolios. An AMC in essence is a fund in a note format issued by a bank and managed by a third party, which can be any entity with a fund management licence or the discretionary portfolio management (DPM) desk of a private bank, according to Carlos Gomez Solorzano, head of institutional solutions sales at OCBC Bank.
