Matthews Asia was founded 30 years ago on the conviction that Asia’s growth would outpace the rest of the world and would one day be the primary driver of the global economy. Today, that vision has largely been borne out with the region’s GDP growth outpacing the rest of the world. Our specialized focus on Asia has enabled us to develop deep insights into its markets, companies and securities. Rigorous proprietary research enables us to understand both the risks and potential rewards and build portfolios that aims to meet our high standards of investment excellence for our clients. As Asia’s influence and links to the broader global economy have grown, our research capabilities have also expanded to include emerging markets—an asset class that Asia now dominates.

Across the firm, all employees share important qualities and principles that drive how we serve our clients with a culture valuing openness, accountability, collaboration and humility. We embrace our diversity of background, expertise and perspectives. These differences are akin to the diversity of markets in which we invest; we believe they help mitigate potential biases and are essential for informed decision-making. Together, these elements foster comprehensive and varied approaches to problem-solving.
