CHICAGO - Billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin's finance companies plan to open a Singapore office this year in a fresh push to expand in Asia.

Citadel is accelerating its expansion after the securities unit used its technology edge to cement its position as one of the largest traders of stocks, bonds and derivatives. Trading has boomed globally as the Covid-19 pandemic and an oil shock disrupted markets and prompted investors to evaluate their holdings. Its flagship multi-strategy hedge fund gained 16.5 per cent in the first seven months of the year.

Regulatory changes have broadened the range of securities available in Asia. Meanwhile, rising tensions between the world's two largest economies are leading a growing number of Chinese companies to dual list in Hong Kong, which may help boost trading. The Asia-Pacific region now represents more than 34 per cent of world stock market value, just 5 percentage points behind North America, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
