Principle Partners

Principle Partners Pte Ltd is an executive search firm whose stated mission is to consistently provide superior talent solutions in finance and technology. It describes itself as a buyside and technology specialist, working to uncover and attract talent in global cities, and its proposition is a trusted talent platform for the buyside and technology communities. The firm was founded in January 2009 on core values of integrity, long term relationship building and unrivalled career advice, and it holds Singapore Ministry of Manpower employment agency licence number 24C2276. Two services sit at its core. Specialised, high touch executive search is the main practice, supported by relationships and practice areas the firm says are intertwined with the markets it covers. Alongside it, customised talent mapping gives clients a current picture of the global talent pool, using a knowledge based and technology heavy approach intended to speed up discovery and reduce time to hire.

The specialism is investment management and technology. The firm covers asset management, hedge funds, family offices and alternative investments, across liquid and illiquid strategies, and says it recruits front, middle and back office positions. Its managing director leads coverage of asset management, hedge funds and family offices, focusing on team builds and leadership searches for boutique and global fund managers, while its director leads finance and middle office hiring including legal and compliance, operations and executive assistants from manager to executive level, and a senior consultant handles front office investment searches for global and Asia based hedge funds. Newer verticals cover technology, data science and impact investing.

Principle Partners operates from Singapore and focuses its work on Asia, where it says it has placed more than 500 professionals and is recognised as a leading buyside and technology focused search firm in the region. Clients rely on it to identify, attract and retain talent that fits their ambitions and investment strategies in Asia, and it has completed entire fund build-outs as well as contingent placements and strategic talent mapping. Its consultants come from asset management and financial journalism backgrounds. Enquiries go to [email protected].
