Primus Financial is a multi-billion dollar Asia-based financial services holding company - we are the largest independent investment company in Asia with a primary focus on the financial services industry.
Primus Financial is a strategic investor in financial services with significant permanent capital, deep operational experience, and long-term financial capabilities. We operate with unmatched flexibility and a long investment horizon to execute investment strategies crafted by a team of industry pioneers and experts – professionals who helped manage and operate several prominent financial institutions, including Citi's Asia Institutional business, HSBC's Asia investment bank, Fubon Financial, and Primus Pacific Partners, the first Asia-based financial services focused private equity platform. Primus Financial will be able to leverage the experience, relationships and track-record built up by the team while leading these companies.
Unlike many other institutions, we are unencumbered by legacy assets, so we can focus solely on the plentiful opportunities that exist today. We understand the regulatory and operating environment for financial institutions in all major countries around the world, and our partners have direct operational, management and deal experience in many of those countries.
Primus Financial commands a worldwide presence through offices located in Hong Kong and New York. With our permanent capital in excess of US$1 billion, we are building a financial institution encompassing insurance, banking, brokerage, advisory and wealth management services. The opportunity to acquire and organically grow these operations, we believe, is unparalleled in the current market.
We will also operate an Alternative Investments platform pursuing selected hedge fund and private equity strategies. Our initial focus is on financial assets (including distressed fixed income and mezzanine opportunities) in the US, as well as minority and control private equity investments in Asia and the emerging markets. Our Alternatives team have decades of experience as successful investors across the globe.
