Monument Group Expands into Asia with New Offices in Hong Kong and Tokyo
BOSTON, 31 March 2014 – Monument Group, a leading independent alternative investment fund placement agent, announced today that it is expanding its presence in Asia with the opening of offices in Hong Kong and Tokyo.
“Asian investors are becoming an increasingly important source of capital for alternative investment funds,” said Bob Mast, Partner at Monument Group. “In addition, we see a continuous demand from investors elsewhere for exposure to Asian funds. Given our global focus, it is a natural step for Monument Group to be on the ground in both Hong Kong and Tokyo.”
Bob Mast leads Monument Group’s efforts in Asia, while also retaining some responsibilities at the firm’s headquarters in Boston. In addition to the Boston, Hong Kong and Tokyo offices, Monument Group has a London office, which was established in 2005.
Monument has been active in the Asian markets for many years; most recently completing a $750,000,000 fund raise for Phoenix Asia Real Estate Investments Fund V, a Hong Kong-based real estate fund.
Monument Group’s Hong Kong office is located at Level 19, Two International Finance Centre, 8 Finance Street, Central, Hong Kong.
Monument Group’s Tokyo office is located at Level 18, Yebisu Garden Place Tower, 4-20-3 Ebisu, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-6018.
