PPG is especially active across the spectrum of financial advisory and investing services in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand with established offices in each capital city.

In 1997 together with Banque Nationale de Paris, it established BNP-PrimeEast. BNP-PrimeEast changed its name to BNP Prime Peregrine in 1998 following the acquisition of the Peregrine Group’s broking and corporate finance operations in Hong Kong and Greater China. PrimePartners sold its interest in BNP Prime Peregrine in late 1999 at which time the organization had grown into a major investment banking and stockbroking group in Asia employing over 600 people in East and South East Asia.More
