Edelweiss Group and PAG, the leading Asia-focused investment group, today announced an investment by PAG's private equity strategy in Edelweiss Wealth Management (EWM).

This partnership will result in unlocking long-term value for shareholders and accelerating business growth.

In addition, PAG is also acquiring the entire ownership of the prior investors in EWM, Kora Management (Kora) and Sanaka Capital (Sanaka), taking its stake to ~61.5%.
