Commitment
Since 2006, our presence in Asia Pacific has been a strategic priority that we view as crucial to our firm’s success—and we believe the best days are yet to come.
“I was born and raised in Singapore. I went to RMIT University in Singapore and studied business and marketing. When I started in 2014, some teams didn’t have a local presence in Singapore—so I did a little bit of everything—Operations, Human Resources, Facilities, IT. The office has grown a lot since then, and I’ve gotten to take on a lot of new responsibilities and grow with the business. We invest a lot in our people. We’re constantly expanding so no two days are the same.”

Singapore Office Manager
Development
We offer a culture of mentorship and dedicated development programs like Point72 LaunchPoint and the Point72 Academy to provide long-term growth opportunity to our people.
“I joined Point72 LaunchPoint after 15 years in long/short investing at a boutique hedge fund. What appealed to me about the program was the highly-personalized support structure and the regular communication with senior leaders here. The top-down vision is always looking at the long-term future, and that is clear in the firm’s commitment to providing the resources and infrastructure for your business.”

Culture
Every person here has the ability to contribute to the firm’s success; our responsibility is to build the culture of trust and collaboration that makes it possible.
“One aspect of our firm’s culture that I feel makes it unique is how much we value knowledge sharing between teams and regions. We have a lot of roundtable discussions where analysts share their ideas and debate around them. It’s friendly and collaborative, and that’s important. The work can be challenging, but being surrounded by people who can share their perspectives is a great learning opportunity.”
Dana Poon
Associate Portfolio Manager, Point72 Academy alum
Our Values
We work to be valued citizens in the communities we call home through volunteerism and charitable donations, supporting organizations like 100 Women in Finance, Asian University for Women (AUW), the Asian Women’s Welfare Association (AWWA), ImpactHK, and the YWCA.
We are also committed to being fair and progressive in the opportunities, development, and compensation we provide our employees across the region, and have adopted Tripartite Standard on Recruitment Practices in Singapore.
"In my three decades as an investor and leading investing teams across the region, I've never seen an organization with the commitment of Point72. I believe we've built an amazing culture that values and develops individuals, and I think the whole of our presence is more than the sum of our parts."
