ASIA

Our Asia business is growing 40 percent year over year. The partnerships we have built there are extraordinary.

The Homeplus deal was the largest PE buyout in Korean history. People said a local firm couldn't do it. We did.

Korea, Japan, China — each market has its own rules, its own relationships, its own way of doing business. One playbook doesn't work.

Western PE firms lose money in Asia because they don't understand the culture. I grew up in both worlds. That's my edge.

We don't do hostile takeovers. In Asia, relationships are everything. You earn trust before you earn returns.

Insurance in Asia has been complicated and distant for too long. FWD was built to change that.

The middle class in Asia is the biggest economic story of our lifetime. Financial services — insurance, savings, investment — are how they protect what they've built.

Asia's growth story is not just beginning — it's accelerating. The question is whether you're positioned to capture it.

Being able to connect that local team with our global franchise is critical.
