Asia-Pacific financial market activity

Overview

Asia-Pacific financial markets are experiencing significant activity across investment management and capital raising. Family offices in the region are increasingly diversifying their portfolios by raising hedge fund allocations to between 20% and 25% to manage market volatility. These regional family offices have reported year-to-date investment returns exceeding 15% at a rate nearly double the global average.

Simultaneously, equity sales in the region are trending toward potentially surpassing 2021 records. Driven by an artificial intelligence boom in sectors like chips and data centers, firms have raised US$327.1 billion through equity deals so far in 2026, a 53% increase over the previous year. A substantial pipeline of upcoming offerings, including major IPOs and rights issues in Australia, Singapore, China, India, and South Korea, remains central to this growth.
