Jeong cited Arcesium's work with large multi-strategy firms, its global managed services coverage, and its technology as reasons for the selection, adding that the platform allows portfolio managers to deploy and scale new strategies on infrastructure suited to the firm's growth.
According to the release, Arrowpoint was founded in 2024 by a former Millennium Asia co-CEO. The Singapore-headquartered firm manages $2 billion in funds, has a presence in Hong Kong and Dubai, and oversees 24 portfolio managers across Asia and the Middle East.
