This is not a correct question. Seek according your skills, education and experience. If we had a proven answer that country X is "best" for risk managers every risk manager would go there. State your background, both - working and educational and it'll be easier to find some position.

Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong are taking off. Singapore especially due to it's location has become a hub for many firms, especially in commodities. I don't know much about the middle east but I know that there are SEVERAL family office type funds over there. I met a guy who was a portfolio manager for a small family fund. He was managing $500M for them. This is very common is Saudi apparently.
I would say India would be a good place too. Even firms like DE Shaw are establishing large offices there.

I guess Shanghai too, but you would of course need to be fluent in Mandarin to get a job.

You need lots of experience. Most portfolio managers I know/heard off were previously traders at banks for 10+ years.

joy, you think singapore is taking off? i'd argue that, along with tokyo, it's pretty darn established in asia.

It has a good base. I would say it is expanding a lot currently after the regulations exposed in NYC and London than "taking off" I suppose.

Portfolio Managers usually have a university degree or MBA, and typically start out as Investment Analysts.

For Canadian example, securities regulators have set specific proficiency and experiential requirements for Portfolio Managers. Completion of CSI's Canadian Securities Course, Investment Management Techniques and Portfolio Management Techniques leads to the Canadian Investment Manager designation -- one path toward those requirements. The CFA Institute's Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation also leads to portfolio management registration in Canada.

A prospective Portfolio Manager must also have extensive industry experience as an Associate Portfolio Manager, Investment Advisor or Research Analyst, with experience in managing a portfolio of $5 million or more on a discretionary basis. So you should be seeking some entry level job as assistant at first rather than targeting directly the portfolio manager position which is very hard (if not impossible) to achieve without significant experience.
