Jupiter Asset Management has created a new role of Asia Pacific sales director, appointing Singapore-based David Conway, formerly Royal Skandia’s local regional manager, to the role.
Conway, who takes up the position in October, will be tasked with developing business links with private banks, life companies and wealth managers in Singapore and Hong Kong. Jupiter said he would also build on existing relationships, such as those the fund manager has with Prudential Asia and Taiwan’s Taishin Bank.
Kevin Scott, executive director, international, for Jupiter, said: “We have already enjoyed some success in Asia with global wealth managers, life companies and large regional institutions and we believe there is still plenty of potential for our business to develop in the region. As a result, we feel now is the right time to appoint a dedicated representative for Asia.”
Conway, who has worked in financial services for 16 years, has been based in Asia since 2001, where he held various roles with Royal Skandia. Prior to Skandia he worked in the UK for Scottish Life.
Jupiter has a Luxembourg Sicav fund range and also Jersey-domiciled funds that it sells internationally.
