About Us

Tribridge Capital Management (Cayman) Limited ("Tribridge" was established in June 2003 with the objective of providing institutional and high net worth investors the ability to invest in Asia through a suite of alternative investment products across both fixed income and equities. The firm’s principal business lines are Asset Management and Investment Advisory Services. Tribridge’s strategy is to leverage its experience and relationships with leading financial institutions to provide its clients with innovative financial solutions and expertise on the capital markets.

Collectively, the principals of Tribridge have over 50 years of knowledge in the financial markets in both the Asia and U.S. With extensive backgrounds in corporate finance, capital markets and asset management, the group is well suited to help its clients develop and execute appropriate investment strategies. Tribridge maintains an extensive network of relationships with many key financial institutions, government entities and corporations.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary TIPL, Tribridge holds Securities Advisory and Asset Management licenses with Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission and is registered in Korea as an off-shore investment advisor with the Financial Supervisory Commission. The flagship fund, Tribridge AF1 Ltd, is a dedicated fixed income hedge fund which focuses on the Asian (ex-Japan) region. The fund utilizes two core investment strategies, fixed income arbitrage and event-driven investing to generate absolute returns not correlated with the overall direction of either the equities markets or interest rates. Investment performance relies on using superior credit analysis skills to identify fundamentally mis-priced securities. Targeted net returns are 10-15% per annum with volatility of less than 3% per annum and market neutrality by minimizing correlation with the direction of Asian equity markets or USD interest rates.
