Well, well, well! Are you wondering who are the major players in the asset management market in Asia? That is an excellent question! Let me tell you, the asset management market in Asia is a booming industry, and a lot is happening in that space.

First things first, we have BlackRock, the American multinational investment management company. They are considered the largest asset manager worldwide, with close to $9 trillion in assets under management. It's not hard to see why they are a key player in the Asian market, with offices in eight different countries in the region!

Next, we have Vanguard, the second largest asset manager in the world, with over $7 trillion in assets under management. They've been making inroads into the Asian market over the past few years and even offer exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the region.

What about Fidelity Investments, the American multinational financial services corporation? With over $4 trillion in assets under management, they have a strong presence in the Asia-Pacific region. They are looking to expand further by acquiring smaller players in the market, making them a significant asset management player in the region.

Let's not forget the largest asset management company in Japan, Nomura. This company has been in the game for over 90 years and has branches across the region. They've also been growing through acquisitions, making them a big player in the Asian market.

We can't talk about key players without mentioning Schroders. The British multinational asset management company with around $700 billion in assets under management. They have been active in Asia dealing with private banking, institutional, and high net worth clients.

Last but not least, we have Aberdeen Standard Investments. Scottish in origin, but it is one of the largest listed fund management companies in Europe, and they have a huge presence in Asia. They also have a strong focus on emerging markets and are a go-to for investors interested in that space.

What an exciting time to be in the asset management market in Asia! These six companies mentioned above are the tip of the iceberg. There are so many other players in the market doing fantastic things but beware, it's a highly competitive space. Each of these key players will do everything to stay at the top, whether it's through offering cutting edge products or engaging with clients in more innovative ways.

In conclusion, no matter how you slice it, the asset management industry is hot, hot, hot in Asia. So buckle up, and let's watch the exciting developments that will transpire in the years to come. There is no telling where the industry will be a few years from now!
