TCK Investments (Topor & Co. Korea Asset Management), an independent asset manager, announced on the 4th that its Chairman Ohad Topor received the “Outstanding Contribution to Wealth Management Korea (Individual)” award at the WealthBriefingAsia Awards 2026, an awards program for Asia’s wealth management industry. TCK Investments, an independent wealth manager, was also named the winner in the Multi-Family Office, Private Bank or External Asset Manager (South Korea) category at the WealthBriefingAsia Awards 2026, marking its third consecutive year of recognition.

The WealthBriefingAsia Awards are hosted annually by ClearView, a UK-based financial media company, and marked their 14th year this year. The awards recognize companies and individuals that have demonstrated outstanding achievements in the private banking, family office, and wealth management sectors. The judging process is conducted by experts from the banking, asset management, and consulting industries, and comprehensively evaluates factors including independence, expertise, and understanding of the industry.

Chairman Topor, an Israeli-born investment professional, founded TCK in Seoul in 2011 and introduced the concept of an independent multi-family office to Korea. At the time, Korea’s wealth management market was largely dominated by product-sales models centered on financial institution affiliates. By contrast, Topor built and expanded the business by targeting Korea’s ultra-high-net-worth clients with an independent advisory model not affiliated with any specific financial group, together with a globally diversified investment strategy.

At this year’s awards, TCK Investments also continued its winning record for the third consecutive year. The judging panel cited TCK’s disciplined global investment approach, which moves beyond short-term, transaction-driven wealth management practices, as a key reason for the award. The firm was also positively evaluated for reducing domestic asset concentration risk and establishing a stable wealth management framework through long-term investing and diversification.

Mark Tetto, co-CEO of TCK, attended the ceremony held at The Fullerton Hotel in Singapore on the 28th of last month. Tetto is an investment professional who is also known for his appearances on JTBC’s “Abnormal Summit” and other programs. Tetto said, “This recognition reflects not only our long-term investment performance, which has generated a cumulative return of more than 3.7x since 2013, but also our continued ability to provide clients with differentiated private market investment opportunities through TCK’s global network.” He added, “We will continue working to raise the standards of Korea’s private wealth management market.”
