2015

Following the introduction of our first retail RQFII fund last year, this year saw a rapid expansion of our retail offering with the launch of two more Hong Kong SFC authorized Renminbi products*. This provides Hong Kong investors with more alternative to invest their Renminbi and to participate in the China growth story.

* Please note that SFC authorization is not a recommendation or endorsement of a product nor does it guarantee the commercial merits of a product or its performance. It does not mean the product is suitable for all investors nor is it an endorsement of its suitability for any particular investor or class of investors.

First independent, Hong Kong-based asset manager to launch a HK SFC-authorized RQFII RMB bond fund* in July of this year. This new RQFII fund complements our existing line up of offshore RMB strategies, enabling us to offer our clients a complete suite of RMB bond strategies and participate in China’s growth story.

Income Partners was the first non-Bank Asset Manager globally to receive an RMB Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (RQFII) asset management license from the Chinese government. RQFII enables us to provide our clients with the opportunity to invest directly into the onshore China bond markets – a new frontier.

We celebrated our 20th Anniversary, our most significant Milestone, which we simply could not have achieved without the trust and strong partnerships built over the years with our many clients, counterparties and friends! Thank you… we look forward to the next 20 years together!

In line with our long-term vision to be a global leader in fixed income with a strong Asian focus, we launched European-based Asian fixed income UCITS funds on our platform to meet the needs of European clients.

2008-2012

The Global Financial Crisis impacted everyone and Income Partners was no exception, but we rallied for our clients, and began a five-year plan to institutionalize and expand in the face of adversity:

We established our Beijing office to fortify our onshore presence in China.

We streamlined processes and created efficiencies throughout our operations, culminating in the hire of our first COO and the implementation of world class systems

We re-introduced long-only funds to meet our clients’ needs, with a series of RMB funds including the first ever reverse-enquiry offshore RMB bond fund

2002-2007

Our absolute return funds posted record gains in the years ahead of the Global Financial Crisis.

1998-2002

The Asian Financial Crisis, and subsequent Tech Bubble, pushed investors to seek ways to protect themselves from credit risk. Credit Default Swaps (CDS) were introduced in Asia at this time and Income Partners listened to our clients needs and launched Asia’s first absolute return credit fund (2002). This fund, IP All Seasons Asian Credit Fund, has the longest track record in its class with more than 10 years of investment returns.

1996-1998

Our rapid rise enabled us to launch Asia’s first cash Collateralized Bond Obligations. We launched a total of three (3) CBOs and one (1) CDO in this period for a combined total of nearly US$350 Million.

1993-1996

Income Partners launched the first HK SFC-authorized long-only Asian fixed income funds, leading the market with client-driven innovative new products.
