EWF Asset Management obtained its portfolio management company license from the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) on July 23, 2026.
A Dual European and Asian Footprint
Founded on the initiative of Sisouphan Tran and Thomas Chau, EWF Asset Management was built around a founding team with complementary expertise, bringing together Sisouphan Tran and Thomas Chau, founding partners; Sébastien Boucher, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer; and Tanneguy de Belizal, CEO and Chief Compliance Officer (RCCI).
Based in Paris, with a presence in Shanghai and Hong Kong driven by one of its founders, the company has a European and Asian footprint from its inception.
Three Strategic Pillars and an International Offering
EWF Asset Management’s investment offering is structured around three major axes:
- Emerging markets and innovation
- Multi-strategy alternative management
- Tailor-made solutions (Funds, mandates)
In addition to its French-domiciled vehicles, EWF Asset Management will also deploy its expertise within a Luxembourg RAIF SICAV, strengthening the dimension of its offering.
A Culture of Multidisciplinary Excellence
The founders and executives bring a mix of skills and experiences covering varied and complementary areas of finance: asset management, trading, financial engineering, mergers acquisitions, private equity, venture capital, wealth management, family office. Their careers in France and internationally, within large groups as well as at the helm of entrepreneurial companies, contribute to the company’s DNA, combining institutional rigor and entrepreneurial agility.
Sisouphan Tran, Founding Partner:
“EWF Asset Management expands the realm of possibilities for investors. Our philosophy is agnostic: no geographical, sector, or strategy constraints. Our teams bring their expertise to both listed and unlisted assets, combining fundamental analysis and quantitative management. The pursuit of performance, transparency on assumed risks, and alignment of interests are the guiding principles of our management.”
Thomas Chau, Founding Partner:
“Our presence in Asia is one of EWF Asset Management’s unique features. It allows us to build a bridge between Europe and Asia and offer our investors privileged access to a region essential to the global economy, yet still underrepresented in Western portfolios. We thus combine European standards of management and risk control with over twenty years of experience and local roots with Asian companies and entrepreneurs.”
Sébastien Boucher, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer:
“In a rapidly changing world, active management takes on its full meaning. Our approach favors allocation flexibility and an asymmetric risk/reward profile. Our objective is simple: to transform our expertise and convictions into high-performing, transparent, and client-aligned investment solutions.”
Tanneguy de Belizal, CEO and Chief Compliance Officer (RCCI):
“We designed EWF Asset Management as an entrepreneurial structure with institutional standards on a human scale. Our organization will enable us to support our investors over the long term, thanks to innovative and dedicated solutions, with the same commitment to transparency, risk control, and quality of service.”
