Mergermarket Group, the media company that issues the regular Wealthmonitor reports, has rolled out Capital Profile, which provides intelligence on businesspeople and families in Asian markets such as China, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Capital Profile’s coverage includes real-time information; breaking news on corporate and personal events related to high net worth individuals; identification of newly created wealth through real-time tracking of liquidity events; diagrams of family structures and corporate shareholdings; insight into political, business and personal relationships and biographical information, deal histories, and litigation data to facilitate due diligence.

“Asia’s emerging markets are the world’s most dynamic and fastest-growing, with wealthy families driving most major deals,” said Ilya Garger, editor-in-chief of Capital Profile. “For investors, understanding the people behind the companies can make a difference between success and failure,” he said.

“Capital Profile demonstrates Mergermarket Group's commitment to developing products focused on the Asian market,” said Simon Anam, managing director, Asia-Pacific of Mergermarket Group.

Mergermarket Group has been part of the Financial Times Group, a division of Pearson plc since 2006.

This publication’s sister website, WealthBriefing, recently exclusively published bespoke research by WealthMonitor on standards of client service in Switzerland. It has also produced research on issues such as the number of new internet entrepreneurs in Europe, and the importance of trust in a client’s private bank selection choice.
