The Li-funded firm, which was co-founded by long time confidante Solina Chau, is the latest among a raft of high-profile investment outlets and family offices that have set up presence in Singapore – attracted by its low taxes, relative safety and an expedited pathway for permanent residency for the super wealthy.
Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing’s private investment firm Horizons Ventures Ltd. is opening a Singapore office to find new deals and support portfolio companies trying to expand in Asia.
As many as ten staff will be based in the South East Asian city including Jacky Li, a senior investment manager who will focus on deal execution, and Jeffrey Ho, a portfolio curator. It comes a year after the firm flagged plans to ramp up deals in the region and will be Horizons’ first office outside of Hong Kong with a focus on supporting portfolio companies entering the market.
