Samsung Asset Management fixed-income division head Kim Youngsung was quoted by Bloomberg as saying that the firm may launch its fund in China, Malaysia and Thailand within a year.
"Asia looks better than other regions now with good growth potential and inflation stabilizing," Youngsung told the news portal.
"China has a big domestic market, and Asian countries have become less sensitive to the economic situation in the U.S. and Europe."
The International Monetary Fund underlines that Asian economies will grow by 6% this year, compared to growth of 2.1% in the US and a 0.3% contraction in the euro-area.
"Chinese policy makers are trying to boost the economy, and this will support the yuan in the long-term although the currency has been weak recently," Kim added.
Samsung Asset’s overseas won 124 trillion ($107bn) and trades in Australia, Brazil and Dim Sum bonds, which are denominated in yuan and sold in Hong Kong.
