Asia's Top Money Managers

   Investment assets are flowing into Asia at a dizzying pace, and the region's money management firms are reaping the rewards. The 100 firms in our thirteenth annual ranking of the biggest money managers in Asia posted a 10.6 percent increase over their collective total assets one year ago, which is an accelerated rate over the previous year's 8.3 gain. Every country represented in this year's ranking experienced positive returns, but Japan’s Kampo (Postal Life Insurance Service) still towers above the rest of the Asian firms with $913 billion under management.
