Temasek, BlackRock form joint asset management venture in China

They will develop and distribute products for Chinese investors.

Temasek and US-based investment management firm BlackRock are in discussions to create a joint asset management venture in China, according to a Bloomberg report.

Subject to regulatory approval, Temasek and BlackRock have signed a non-binding deal with China Construction Bank for a majority stake in the venture.

The two firms will develop and distribute products for Chinese investors, Bloomberg reported, and it is the first time BlackRock had entered such an agreement.

Chinese regulators have recently allowed foreign companies to hold a 51% stake in a wealth management firm with a bank.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
