The fund, which manages about $4 billion in assets, will open an office in Singapore, according to three people familiar with the details.

The 19th century military theorist Karl von Clausewitz, in saying that war was the continuation of politics by other means, implied that the active war phase of a conflict was simply a period of violent activity that changed the situation on the ground before negotiations resumed.
