SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Probitas Partners, the global alternative investment firm, announced today that it has opened an office in Hong Kong. Edwin Chan, an Associate Director at Probitas Partners, will lead the firm’s efforts in the Asia Pacific region managing key Limited Partner relationships, sourcing new General Partner clients, as well as facilitating secondary sales activities.

Greg Hausler, a Founding Partner at Probitas Partners, commented, “Since our inception, Probitas Partners’ business strategy has been to identify and represent the highest quality fund sponsors, invest alongside these General Partners, and then raise capital for them from our global institutional capital relationships. We have also been the pioneer and market leader in the secondary advisory area. Asia is a critical component to our future success, and having a local presence represented by Edwin will help Probitas Partners better serve Limited Partners in the region by offering the very best in research, advice, fund offerings and liquidity management.” Mr. Chan added, “With the unprecedented level of dislocation in the market coupled with the acute constraints in credit and exit options, investors are relooking at the world.
