Redwood Peak

What Redwood Peak does

Redwood Peak Limited is a Hong Kong-based, privately-held boutique asset manager regulated by the Securities and Futures Commission under Type 4 (Advising on securities) and Type 9 (Asset Management) licenses. The firm manages capital exclusively for Professional Investors — high net worth individuals, family offices, and institutions — through one commingled fund and four separately managed account portfolios, all pursuing a value-oriented, bottom-up fundamental equity strategy across the Asia Pacific region. Service is restricted to qualified Professional Investors under Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Ordinance and is delivered via a direct sales motion rather than third-party distribution.

The product platform is anchored by the Redwood Peak Opportunities Fund, an Asia Pacific equity long-short vehicle launched in January 2007 (originally as the Chilton China Opportunities Fund), which uses shorts for both alpha generation and hedging while maintaining a net long bias. Around this core fund, Redwood Peak has built out four bespoke SMA portfolios: a concentrated China-focused portfolio of up to 15 names (China), a concentrated global quality portfolio of up to 25 names (Sequoia), a global small-cap portfolio of up to 30 names (Sprout), and an income-oriented Offshore Dividend Income portfolio targeting a gross yield above 5%. The firm employs a value approach grounded in identifying companies mispriced relative to intrinsic value, supported by what it describes as over 45 years of combined senior-team investment experience in the region.

Redwood Peak generates revenue through asset management fees on the flagship fund and the separately managed accounts, with pricing not publicly disclosed and accessible only on direct inquiry. The firm is independent and management-owned following a July 1, 2014 management buyout in which founder Kenneth Chiang and the management team acquired 100% of Chilton Investment Company's Hong Kong subsidiary. Operating with 1-10 employees from a single Wan Chai headquarters, the firm has no disclosed funding events, no parent ownership, no subsidiaries, and no public listings, with growth and distribution entirely driven by direct professional relationships and the senior team's track record.
