- This marks the specialist asset manager’s first partnership with a digital wealth platform in Asia for RBC BlueBay, making a selection of their best-in-class specialist credit expertise, which includes investment grade, emerging markets, macro, securitised credit, event-driven, and special situations, accessible to a wider audience.
- By providing differentiated, institutional-grade investment solutions, the alliance directly addresses the growing demand for sophisticated tools to solve Asia’s retirement adequacy challenge and meet the evolving needs of different investor segments in the region.
HONG KONG/SINGAPORE, 24 Sep – Endowus, Asia’s leading independent wealth advisor and investment platform, today announced a strategic partnership with RBC BlueBay Asset Management, the specialist fixed income manager of Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Global Asset Management outside North America. The partnership will bring RBC BlueBay’s fixed income platform, which spans absolute return, total return, and benchmark-relative solutions, to professional and accredited investors in Hong Kong and Singapore.
RBC BlueBay is globally recognised for its fixed income expertise, combining hedge-fund-style processes and institutional discipline to deliver diversified, risk-adjusted portfolios that adapt to market cycles.
While traditional fixed income managers are benchmark-oriented, RBC BlueBay’s strategies cover the full spectrum of global credit—including investment grade, emerging markets, macro, securitised credit, event-driven, and special situations—offering niche exposures rarely accessible to individual investors in this region.
This marks RBC BlueBay’s first collaboration with a digital wealth platform in Asia, signalling its commitment to expand its presence and tailor solutions for Asia-based investors. Managing over US$534 billion in assets (as of 30 June 2025), including US$143 billion on the specialist BlueBay fixed income platform, RBC BlueBay has a long history of collaborating with family offices, sovereign wealth funds, pensions, and private banks to deliver innovative, customised investment solutions.
Investor appetite for private market opportunities has accelerated globally, as individuals and institutions seek differentiated sources of return and portfolio resilience beyond traditional public markets. The trend is mirrored on the Endowus platform as private market investments have grown 147% YoY (as of 31 August 2025) with its high-net-worth segment growing 33% across Hong Kong and Singapore in 2025. This momentum underscores why bringing RBC BlueBay’s specialist credit strategies to Asia is both timely and highly relevant for sophisticated investors seeking alternatives beyond traditional bonds.
Said Serene Sun, Head of Asia ex-Japan Business Development, RBC BlueBay Asset Management, “Partnering with Endowus is an exciting milestone for RBC BlueBay as we expand our footprint in Asia. We see a strong alignment in our shared vision: to respond to the complex and nuanced demands of today’s investors with flexible, high-quality solutions. Endowus’s client reach, combined with our global expertise in active fixed income management, enable us to deliver specialist strategies not widely available in this region. Together, we can meet diverse client needs and help build stronger, more resilient portfolios.”
This partnership highlights Endowus’s drive to broaden access to institutional-grade investments while showcasing RBC BlueBay’s ability to craft specialised credit strategies for Asia’s varied investor community. By combining BlueBay’s specialist expertise with Endowus’ trusted platform, the collaboration introduces a differentiated offering not widely available in the region—meeting the sophisticated and varied needs of professional and accredited investors.
Said Samuel Rhee, Chairman and Group Chief Investment Officer, Endowus, “Our clients have different goals and needs, but what they all seek are solutions they can trust to deliver over the long term. By partnering with a global leader like RBC BlueBay, we are able to bring more high-quality, institutional-grade strategies that complement our core investment solutions for our clients. This collaboration reflects our commitment to offering investors not just greater choice, but the right kind of solutions that help them build resilient portfolios and achieve lasting financial success.”
