Founded in Bangkok with a second base in Hong Kong, Matthews Strategic Advisory (MSA) advises international companies, investors, private equity firms, and operators entering or operating across Southeast Asia, the Greater Mekong region, and Greater China.
Our work spans institutional research and the advisory execution that follows: entity and capital structuring, regulatory pathway navigation, partner identification, location and commercial strategy, and negotiation support. It is grounded in direct commercial and operating experience across the region, not desk research alone.
Bangkok and Hong Kong anchor an advisory footprint that extends across Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Singapore. From Myanmar and Laos through mainland Southeast Asia to Vietnam and Singapore, we advise on the ground rather than from a distance, and our research reflects that regional operating perspective.
Our clients include international companies, investors, private equity firms, family offices, and operators evaluating or already operating in Southeast Asia and the Greater Mekong region. The work spans market entry, regulatory structuring, sector-specific investment research, and ongoing advisory relationships.
The research programme covers Thailand, Myanmar, and the wider Southeast Asian region across strategic, regulatory, and sector-specific themes, including market entry, labour and workforce dynamics, critical minerals, foodservice, and regional risk, and continues to expand into adjacent areas, including trade and manufacturing shifts and sector-specific consumer markets. Every report is an original publication grounded in first-party evidence discipline, not aggregated commentary. Explore the current library on our Research page.
