In addition to Wang, who joins from BlackRock, Malcolm Jones, investment director, Asia Pacific, absolute returns and fixed income, and Jason Lam, Asia business development manager, have both been transferred from the company’s Edinburgh head office.
SLI also said as part of its Focus on Change investment policy, which sees it shift its focus more heavily to growth areas of the world, it is looking to build its wholesale team which will be based in Hong Kong “to match the growth of guided wholesale business in the region”.
Colin Clark, director, global client group SL said: “We are committed to growth in Asia and constantly strive to provide clients with the best possible investment solutions.
“That means having the right people in place to help understand and meet investors’ needs and expectations. Allen, Malcolm and Jason’s skills will add to the already impressive range of investment knowledge and experience within our Asia team. They will help drive our five key products – absolute return strategies; private equity; real estate; fixed income; and equities.”
