Aka & Associates is an independent advisory firm founded by Jahangir Aka.
Aka & Associates works with asset owners, asset managers and public institutions on capital strategy, governance and market development.
We bring a practitioner’s understanding of how investment committees allocate capital, how institutional priorities are evolving, and how asset managers increasingly need to align capabilities, structures and investment strategies with the changing needs of asset owners.
