Kamet Capital Hosts Delegates from Top Institutions to share Insights on Family Offices and the Company's Unique Model
SINGAPORE, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As family office growth accelerates across Asia, Kamet Capital ('Kamet') has emerged as a leader in the industry with a unique multi-single-family office model. The company was founded by Kerry Goh, a seasoned investment management professional with near 30 years of experience across global financial markets. His prior experience managing Lord Jacob Rothschild's portfolio at the Rothschild family office shaped his deep understanding of the evolving family office landscape and formed the foundation for Kamet's innovation blend of Western endowment strategies and Asian family values.
As a key player in Singapore's family office ecosystem, Kamet has often been invited to host sharing sessions to offer insights into Singapore's thriving family office sector, sharing best practices and customized strategies for ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) Asian families. Most recently in April, Kamet was invited to host a learning roundtable for a delegation of senior lawyers from the Shanghai Bar Association (SBA) as part of the official Singapore–Shanghai Lawyers Exchange Programme.
'We are honoured to welcome senior law firm partners from Shanghai and share how we support modern Asian families with globally tailored strategies and solutions,' said Kerry Goh, founder and CEO of Kamet Capital. 'Knowledge exchanges like these strengthen Singapore's position as a bridge between East and West in the family office landscape.'
During the visit, the delegation gained first-hand insight from Kamet's advisors who presented best practices in wealth structuring, asset allocation, and bespoke global investment planning for UHNW families. In addition, the delegation learnt more about Kamet Founders' Network, a unique proposition allowing Kamet to source hard-to-access private deals and in exchange provide these companies with mentorship and guidance from established founders in the network. Two investee companies were featured:
Doctor Anywhere, one of Kamet's earliest investments, scaled with support from Kamet before attracting global institutional investors. Kamet holds two seats on the company's board of directors.
TopView, a rapidly growing AI firm, exemplifies Kamet's commitment to drive the global expansion of Chinese companies. Besides leading the first round of financing, Kamet supported TopView with the set-up of its international headquarter in Singapore.
In recent months, Kamet also welcomed participants from the International MBA programme jointly run by Hong Kong University and Fudan University, and from the EMBA programme of Macau University of Science and Technology. During these sessions, Chinese professionals, founders and entrepreneurs gained more in-depth knowledge about family offices and intergenerational wealth transition.
Kamet's reputation continues to grow among top institutions across Asia. With a focus on long-term investments and personalised services, Kamet integrates global best practices into bespoke strategies for each family it serves.

WhatsApp should prepare to exit Russian market, senior lawmaker says
The Meta-owned service is likely to be added to a list of software subject to restrictions due to its ties to Western countries, Gorelkin said. — AFP MOSCOW: Messaging app WhatsApp may soon be blocked in Russia, as lawmakers push for tighter restrictions on digital platforms from "unfriendly countries". "It's time for WhatsApp to prepare to leave the Russian market," Anton Gorelkin, deputy chairman of the Duma Committee on Information Policy, wrote on Telegram on July 18. The Meta-owned service is likely to be added to a list of software subject to restrictions due to its ties to Western countries, he said. Programmes from Western IT companies that have left Russia have long been a thorn in the Kremlin's side. Back in May, Russian President Vladimir Putin called for their services to be curtailed. In 2021, following a decree by Putin, the Russian government began compiling a list of "unfriendly countries," which initially included the United States and the Czech Republic. It was expanded after the invasion of Ukraine to encompass the European Union as a whole. In June, the Russian parliament, the State Duma, also passed a law to create its own messenging service. At the time, it was said that government services would also be integrated into this chat programme, likely to be called Max. Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago, Moscow has massively tightened censorship and control of the Internet. On Thursday, parliament passed new legislation that makes searching for content that the authorities classify as "extremist" punishable by fines of up to 5,000 roubles (RM 269 ). Internet resources that criticise the ruling elite, such as The Anti-Corruption Foundation started by the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny, are among the sites targeted. Until now, there has been no legal regulation in Russia that would have hindered the free search for information. Only the creation and dissemination of "extremist content" was prohibited. Numerous websites, including those of Western and independent media, are already blocked in Russia. To make it even more difficult for Russians to access content, VPN services are increasingly being blocked. Mobile internet is also being shut down with increasing frequency. – dpa

China embarks on world's largest hydropower dam, capital markets cheer
HONG KONG/SHANGHAI: China's Premier Li Qiang announced construction had begun on what will be the world's largest hydropower dam, on the eastern rim of the Tibetan Plateau, at an estimated cost of at least US$170 billion, the official Xinhua news agency said. Commencement of the hydropower project, China's most ambitious since the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze, was seized by Chinese markets as proof of economic stimulus, sending stock prices and bond yields higher on Monday. Made up of five cascade hydropower stations with the capacity to produce 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually – equal to the amount of electricity consumed by Britain last year – the dam will be located in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo. A section of the river tumbles 2,000 metres (6,561 feet) in a span of 50km (31 miles), offering huge hydropower potential. India and Bangladesh have already raised concerns about its possible impact on the millions of people downstream, while NGOs warned of the risk to one of the richest and most diverse environments on the plateau. Beijing has said the dam will help meet power demand in Tibet and the rest of China without having a major effect on downstream water supplies or the environment. Operations are expected sometime in the 2030s. China's CSI Construction & Engineering Index jumped as much as 4 per cent to a seven-month high. Power Construction Corporation of China and Arcplus Group PLC surged by their 10 per cent daily limit. "From an investment perspective, mature hydropower projects offer bond-like dividends," Wang Zhuo, partner of Shanghai Zhuozhu Investment Management said, while cautioning that speculative buying into related stocks would inflate valuations. The project will drive demand for construction and building materials such as cement and civil explosives, Huatai Securities said in a note to clients. Shares of Beijing-listed Hunan Wuxin Tunnel Intelligent Equipment Co, which sells tunnel construction equipment, surged 30 per cent. So did shares of Geokang Technologies Co Ltd, which makes intelligent monitoring terminals. Cement maker Xizang Tianlu Co Ltd and Tibet GaoZheng Explosive Co, producer of civil explosive materials, both jumped their maximum 10 per cent. Broader impact The Chinese premier described the dam as a "project of the century" and said special emphasis "must be placed on ecological conservation to prevent environmental damage," Xinhua said on Saturday. Government bond yields rose across the board on Monday, with the most-traded 30-year treasury futures falling to five-week lows, as investors interpreted the news as part of China's economic stimulus. The project, overseen by the newly formed state-owned China Yajiang Group, marks a major boost in public investment to help bolster economic growth as current drivers show signs of faltering. "Assuming 10 years of construction, the investment/GDP boost could reach 120 billion yuan (US$16.7 billion) for a single year," said Citi in a note. "The actual economic benefits could go beyond that." China has not given an estimate on the number of jobs the project could create. The Three Gorges, which took almost two decades to complete, generated nearly a million jobs, state media reported, though it displaced at least a similar number of people. Authorities have not indicated how many people would be displaced by the Yarlung Zangbo project. The Yarlung Zangbo becomes the Brahmaputra River as it leaves Tibet and flows south into India and finally into Bangladesh. NGOs say the dam will irreversibly harm the Tibetan Plateau and hit millions of people downstream. The chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh, Pema Khandu, said earlier this year that such a colossal dam barely 50km from the border could dry out 80 per cent of the river passing through the Indian state while potentially inundating downstream areas in Arunachal and neighbouring Assam state. Some experts also express concerns for a project in a seismically active zone.

China sets its sights on export boost
China will intensify efforts to advance high-quality trade development, deepen international cooperation and bolster innovation to further boost exports during the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, the country's top commerce official said on Friday. Speaking at a news conference in Beijing, Commerce Minister Wang Wentao said these measures will foster an open, cooperative and mutually beneficial global trading landscape that promotes shared development. Wang said that despite external pressures, China further cemented its position as a major global trading nation, with notable progress in high-quality development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25). The country's foreign trade reached $6.16 trillion in 2024, up 32.4 percent from 2020, maintaining its position as the world's largest trading nation for the eighth consecutive year, according to the Ministry of Commerce. "Chinese exporters have shown remarkable resilience, actively adapting to changes and driving transformation," he said, adding that they are accelerating product upgrades, especially by enhancing technological content, while also expanding into new markets and channels, and exploring innovative business models. The commerce minister said that China's foreign trade-related production and supply chains have become more complete, flexible and efficient, reinforcing the country's ability to navigate external uncertainties and laying a solid foundation for sustained and high-quality trade growth. Noting that any attempt to forcibly "decouple" economic and trade ties between China and the United States is destined to fail, Wang said the bilateral economic relationship has endured fluctuations, with cooperation remaining anchored in economic fundamentals and reflecting the shared interests and expectations of people in both countries. As economic globalization has encountered mounting challenges and unilateralism and protectionism have continued to rise in recent years, China International Trade Representative Li Chenggang said that the world's economic order and governance system have come under significant strain. In response, China has reaffirmed its commitment to the multilateral trading system and has worked to expand its network of high-standard free trade agreements, advancing both multilateral and regional cooperation in parallel, said Li, who is also vice-minister of commerce. "In addition to completing negotiations on the Version 3.0 China-ASEAN Free Trade Area agreement earlier this year, China has also incorporated rules on emerging sectors such as the digital and green economy into its trade negotiations," he added. Reflecting China's broader commitment to high-standard opening-up, foreign investment has also played a key role in supporting the country's economic development. China utilized a total of $708.73 billion in foreign investment during the 14th Five-Year Plan period by the end of June this year, reaching the target set in the national commerce development plan six months ahead of schedule. Ling Ji, vice-minister of commerce and deputy China international trade representative, said that foreign-invested companies have contributed one-third of China's foreign trade and one-quarter of its industrial added value, while creating over 30 million jobs, making a significant contribution to the country's economic development. In a renewed push to draw more global capital, China on Friday introduced 12 targeted measures to encourage foreign companies to reinvest in the Chinese market and boost the effective use of foreign investment. The new policy, jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and six other government bodies, said that China will support eligible foreign-invested companies reinvesting profits domestically through flexible land use, tax incentives, streamlined procedures, financial support and improved services to encourage high-quality foreign reinvestment projects. Jiangsu Mobis Automotive Parts Co Ltd, an automobile lamp and airbag manufacturer and subsidiary of South Korea's Hyundai Mobis Co in Yancheng, Jiangsu province, has strengthened its earning capacity since joining the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) program in 2024, with support from the local government. The AEO program, promoted by the World Customs Organization, fosters partnerships between customs authorities and businesses to enhance supply chain security and streamline global trade through simplified procedures. "Since joining the program, we have expanded to become a global supplier of components to more automakers in Japan and Southeast Asia," said Zheng Yinyin, a manager at the company's foreign trade unit. The company, which employs more than 1,000 people, saw its exports soar 44.5 percent year-on-year to 430 million yuan ($60 million) between January and June, data from Nanjing Customs showed. - China Daily/ANN
