Nanyang Polytechnic is pleased to offer the 2nd intake of the Specialist Diploma in Fund Management and Administration commencing 18 February 2008, in response to the high market demand for professionals in this field.

There has been a robust double-digit annualised growth rate in total assets under management ("AUM") over the last six years. The assets managed by Singapore-based asset managers grew by 24% to reach S$891 billion (approximately US$581 billion) as at end-2006, compared to S$720 billion as at end-2005

From 2005 to 2006, the number of fund managers and other investment professionals based in Singapore has increased by 23%. Coupled with its emergence as being the wealth management capital of Asia, Singapore is also fast becoming a growing centre for the hedge fund industry with many hedge fund managers choosing to base their operations here. In order for Singapore to develop effectively as a global financial hub, supporting services are constantly being relocated into Singapore. As such, fund administration and other related services are expected to be in great demand.
