Valverde Enhances Operations with Broadridge's Technology Solutions

Valverde Investment Partners, a newly established independent investment management firm based in Singapore, has announced a strategic partnership with Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. to enhance its portfolio management, trade order management, and risk analytics capabilities. This collaboration is expected to support Valverde's latest fund launch and improve its operational efficiency and scalability.

John Foo, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Valverde Investment Partners, highlighted the rising demand for ASEAN investment assets and the importance of having advanced operational technology in place. "Demand is rising as ASEAN is increasingly recognized as a standalone investment asset class," Foo stated. He further explained that Broadridge's investment management solution provides the operational efficiency, flexibility, and scalability required to deliver tailored client solutions in the growing ASEAN market.

Hock Meng Tan, Chief Operating Officer of Valverde, added that the firm's approach involves scanning the entire capital structure to identify optimal risk/reward trade-offs. Tan noted that Broadridge's solutions are crucial for managing these trade-offs effectively. Wout Kalis, Head of APAC Asset Management at Broadridge, expressed enthusiasm about supporting Valverde's growth and innovation. "We are pleased to power Valverde's portfolio/trade order management operations and be part of their innovation and growth story," Kalis said.

Valverde's newly launched ASEAN+ Fund, a Singapore Variable Capital Company, aims to achieve long-term absolute returns by investing primarily in publicly traded equities within Southeast Asian countries. The fund leverages local intelligence to identify and unlock growth opportunities. Broadridge's SaaS-based investment management solution offers a multi-asset platform with integrated order, portfolio, and risk management capabilities, designed to address the challenges faced by emerging, midsize, and large managers in today's competitive investment market.
