AllianzGI, one of the world’s leading active asset managers, announced today that Allianz Global Investors Asia Pacific Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary within AllianzGI, has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with RHB Banking Group for the proposed acquisition by AllianzGI (together with PT Asuransi Allianz Life Indonesia) of the entire equity interest in RHBAMI, an Indonesia-based asset manager, from PT RHB Sekuritas Indonesia which is part of RHB Banking Group, and the other shareholder of RHBAMI.
RHBAMI is an established asset management company in Indonesia with Assets under Management (“AUM”) of over USD 480 million (as at 31 December 2020). It offers asset management products and services such as mutual fund units in various asset classes catering for retail investors, high net worth individuals, and corporate and institutional investors.
With strong success in Asian markets including Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, AllianzGI aims to create an on-the-ground, market-leading setup in Indonesia through the proposed acquisition to grow the firm’s footprint in Southeast Asia. The firm will also look to build on the strong presence of its parent company, Allianz SE, which has already established a robust insurance business in Indonesia.
Tobias Pross, Chief Executive Officer at AllianzGI, says: “Asia is a growth market for AllianzGI. While we have a long history of success in the region, we continue to look for opportunities to further expand our presence and grow our client base. We see Southeast Asia as the next growth engine besides China; backed by the solid presence of Allianz SE in Indonesia, the proposed acquisition is a confident stride to accelerate our entry into this fast-growing market.”
Desmond Ng, Head of Asia Pacific at AllianzGI, says: “Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia with a young population and rapid economic growth. We are ready to tap into this dynamic market for its long-term growth potential and to strengthen our franchise in Southeast Asia which has long been a strategic focus for AllianzGI. We look forward to bringing more value to the investors in Indonesia and Southeast Asia as a whole.”
Following the proposed acquisition, expected to be completed in 4Q 2021 subject to satisfaction of the various conditions precedent, including approval by the OJK, AllianzGI and RHBAMI will be able to leverage each other’s strengths and capabilities in investment management and solutions. While RHBAMI’s current and prospective clients will benefit from AllianzGI’s broad range of investment expertise and solutions, AllianzGI will be bringing in new perspectives to the Indonesia asset management market through RHBAMI’s on-the-ground team.
