Eastspring Investments Launches Actively Managed Asia Technology Innovation Fund to Capture Long-Term Growth Opportunities in Asia’s Innovation Ecosystem
This Fund looks beyond Global Tech and seeks to uncover and invest in Asia’s next generation of technology leaders benefitting from Artificial Intelligence (AI), digitalisation and innovation trends
SINGAPORE (16 July 2026) – Eastspring Investments (“Eastspring”), the USD269 billion1 Asia-headquartered asset management business of Prudential plc, today announced the launch of the Eastspring Investments - Asia Technology Innovation Fund (“the Fund”) in Singapore and Hong Kong. The Fund will also be progressively available to other select markets in the region.
The Fund is driven by a high conviction, actively managed strategy focused on one of the most powerful investment themes today: the rise of Asian innovators powering the next wave of technology and AI.
“Technology continues to reshape industries, business models and everyday life at an unprecedented pace. Many of today’s most successful tech companies are household names and often large global companies. But the real engine behind them lies deeper - in the chips, hardware and infrastructure that make innovation possible. And much of that is built right here in Asia,” said Vis Nayar, Chief Investment Officer, Eastspring Investments. “From semiconductors to supply chains, Asia plays a central role in powering global technology. But we will still have to be selective and active management is critical in identifying the most compelling opportunities while navigating the sector’s inherent volatility.”
The Fund spans both established leaders and emerging innovators, many of which are often underrepresented in global benchmarks2. This provides exposure to Asian companies powering the familiar, global technology names you know.
“Asia is at the centre of global technological transformation, supported by world-class manufacturing ecosystems, increasing digital adoption, government-led initiatives and a growing pool of innovation leaders. This strategy taps into Asia’s understated yet critical role in global technology supply chains,” commented Salman Haider, Chief Distribution Officer, Eastspring Investments. “Eastspring has on-the-ground investment teams across Asia's key tech epicentres, and by combining our deep regional expertise with a disciplined active investment approach, we aim to help investors capture long-term capital appreciation opportunities arising from Asia’s increasing importance in global innovation and technology supply chains.”
The Fund is led by Lead Portfolio Manager and Head of Asia Tech Team, Eric Lin, CFA and Co Portfolio Managers Louis Cheng, CFA and Jack Hsu, and Head of Growth Equities, John Tsai.
