Capital management is on the table today as we explore what the current macroeconomic environment means for boutique asset management firms here in Asia. 

Founded in 2017, our guest for today is Paragon Capital Management Singapore, an asset management firm overseeing assets exceeding S$1 billion. 

With a Capital Markets Services Licence granted by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the company delivers bespoke investment solutions and wealth management services to accredited investors. 

These include portfolio management, fund management, private equity and corporate advisory, investment advisory as well as family succession advisory.

In particular, the firm runs three open-ended public market funds and two close-ended private markets funds, as well as an early stage VC fund to tap opportunities across asset classes. 

But why are we talking to Paragon Capital Management you might ask? Well, the firm had in June announced that it established an office in Hong Kong to cater to clients in North Asia. But what are the opportunities within North Asia and why did the firm choose to enter Hong Kong at this time?

Meanwhile, Paragon Capital Management had in June 2024 formed a consortium with real estate fractional investment platform RealVantage for a real estate focused private equity fund called the Global Real Estate Alternative & Tactical or (GREAT) Fund. 

The fund has a US$50 million target fund size and wrapped up its first close in May this year. But what should we know about the partnership and how does exposure to real estate better position Paragon Capital Management for the future?

On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Paul Lee, CEO & CIO, Paragon Capital Management Singapore Private Limited.
