Asim Khan has been calling the Gulf of Saint Tropez his home since 2008. Prior to living there he was co-founder of Dublin, Ireland-based Structured Credit Holdings. A fund that famously blew up in the Great Correction, as Asim likes to refer to the Global Financial Crisis. Though the losses incurred by Structured Credit Holdings, and which led to its demise, would in short order seem like rounding errors compared to what was lost at Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, it was enough to signal to Asim the end of the glory days of high finance.
Prior to Structured Credit Holdings, Asim was a senior deal-maker in the derivatives area of the insurance firm Radian Group and held senior positions with the firm in New York and London. Prior to working for the Radian Group, Asim was in a similar role at the French bank, BNP Paribas.
Asim’s personal interests include French literature, French cooking and the occasional advisory assignment for friends and former clients who are still in the business world.
Asim is currently preparing his next project under the headline, Motorcycling to Rishikesh. The aim is to get to the spiritual home of yoga by motorcycle from the storied Club 55, which has been chronicled in Asim’s current book, Dispatches from Saint-Tropez, and spend several months with one of its famed masters.
You may follow preparations for ‘Project Rishikesh’ via Asim’s blog.
