Richard Cayne originally Montreal Canada has been in Asia for over 25 years. Richard moved to Tokyo Japan in the 1990’s and started his Asian based career in the wealth management sector, specifically helping Japanese High Net worth Individuals with their wealth management needs. From education fees savings needs to planning for retirement or even generational wealth transfer with tax efficiency planning Richard has led the offshore financial planning and investment space in Japan.

In 2000 seeing the offshore financial planning needs of the Japanese market he setup Meyer Asset Management Ltd to grow the network of clients. Very few options existed at this time in Japan and the options for investment were quite limited to a handful of generic funds offered by the banks. So wanting to open a world of choice for his investors in Europe, North America and in Asia Richard created relationships with over 200 banks, investment houses and insurance groups. After 10 years Meyer Asset Management Ltd was ready to grow to serve the needs of various clients all around Asia. With an eye on the fastest growing region being South East Asia Richard set his eyes on Thailand being the gateway to South East Asia and a very big transit hub in the region.
2010 Richard relocated his company Meyer International to Bangkok Thailand to serve the needs of clients around Asia. In addition he listed the Meyer Group on a UK London stock exchange so as to show his groups commitment to transparency and sound corporate governance. Richard is proud to say the Meyer group has thousands of clients over 5 continents.
Richard Cayne believes the best way to get an understanding of financial planning is to talk about it with one’s family. In the home with the children and look into strategies and technique to help children learn about it so that they can grow up to be more financially savvy. From regular savings techniques like dollar cost averaging to understanding the basics of asset allocation one can learn to protect and grow one’s wealth over time. Richard likes to emphasize that understanding risk is important especially how to evaluate risk adjusted returns. For example a bank account has low risk but generally no interest is given and so it while being a good parking spot for cash with not protect it from the erosive powers of inflation.
