Dymon Asia Capital
Dymon Asia Capital is a Singapore- and Dubai-based multi-strategy hedge fund manager founded in 2007 by former Goldman Sachs traders.
Dymon Asia Capital
Dymon Asia Capital was established in 2007 by a group of executives from Goldman Sachs, including Paul Chong and Tim Todd. The firm focuses on Asian markets, running a multi-strategy hedge fund platform alongside a growing private assets business. Wealth origin is primarily institutional and high-net-worth capital from Asia. The firm allocates capital across global macro, equity long/short, and systematic strategies, with a recent push into private credit and direct real estate in Southeast Asia. It has raised multiple fund vehicles since inception, including a $400 million macro fund in 2023. The firm typically invests in liquid markets while co-investing alongside external GPs for private deals. Dymon Asia employs roughly 40 investment professionals and maintains offices in Singapore and Dubai. In 2025, the firm opened a DIFC-licensed entity to serve Middle Eastern allocators, targeting $500 million in regional mandates. It also manages a family office arm for its founding partners. A key structural differentiator is Dymon Asia's hybrid model: a traditional hedge fund manager evolving into a multi-asset platform that includes both liquid and illiquid strategies, with a regulated base in Dubai to tap Gulf capital.
