OUR STORY

As a licensed asset manager based in Hong Kong, our founding partners have drawn upon their experience in alternative investments since 1999 to offer various strategies with the potential for growth in Asia, under the "Lotus AM" brand. During the last two decades, our vigilant and circumspect investment process has generated asymmetric, risk-weighted returns that have met the expectations of a wide variety of investors, such as endowments, family offices, institutional investors, fund of funds, and high-net-worth individuals. Above all, we prioritize conducting business ethically and candidly with all stakeholders.

In 2022, the partners made the strategic decision to restructure and rebrand as "BLS Capital" in order to provide tailored financial solutions to meet the growing demand. With over US$500 million in assets under management and administration, we are committed to offering best-in-class services and maximizing returns for our clients.
