Abacus Capital is a privately held asset management and corporate advisory group headquartered in Singapore at 350 Orchard Road, Shaw House, with a secondary office in Jakarta, Indonesia. Founded in 1995 by Hogi Hyun, the firm operates across two integrated business lines: (1) Asset Management, comprising a Multi-Family Office Platform that manages corporate investments and liquid wealth via funds, trusts, single-family offices, and external manager accounts held at custodian banks, alongside Special Situation Funds focused on themes such as natural resources, oil and gas, energy, and real estate; and (2) Corporate Advisory, covering strategy, M&A, capital raising, and restructuring. The firm also runs a lifestyle portfolio, including the Vitis Fine Wine Collections and the Abacus Art collection of over 150 Southeast Asian works, serving primarily as a client relationship and positioning asset rather than a revenue driver.
