The report also includes key market insights including:

  • Several buy side general compliance openings relocated to Singapore in the first half of 2022 however, Hong Kong’s status as the dominant alternative investment fund hub in Asia remains.
  • With the underlying opportunities in Greater Bay Area (Hong Kong), and the further relaxation of Covid restrictions, there has been a greater appetite with talent to relocate to Hong Kong. There should be continued hiring in 2023, especially at the senior level and average salary increment would remain.
  • 2022 saw an increase in mid to senior level attrition rates within Compliance and Financial Crime at the larger international firms within Singapore. The rates have jumped dramatically with firms reporting levels reaching 35%.
