Braemar Capital is an independent global wealth management company with a focus on the emerging and developing markets of the Asia Pacific.  Based in Hong Kong, with strong links to Asia’s developing markets and a hub for East-West commerce, Braemar Capital has been providing investment advice, products and services to the discerning private investor for close to 30 years.

Braemar Capital was established in 1984 by Desmond Alexander and James Liu in a small office in Braemar Hills, Hong Kong, as Braemar Hills Capital Partners, with the aim of offering clients access to the rapidly growing markets of the Asia-Pacific. Our founders placed great weight on tapping into sectors which have the potential to dominate markets in the near future, encouraged by a growth in consumer demand in the developing economies in the Asia-Pacific.

Over the past 30 years, the company has expanded to become one of the leading investment firms in the region, expanding to offices in Taipei in 1999.  In 2005 following the retirement of co- founder James Liu, the company simplified our name to Braemar Capital to reflect the name we had become commonly known by in Hong Kong.  In 2008 we opened our Shanghai Office, followed by our Seoul Office in 2010, providing research and access to markets across the Asia Pacific region.
