Capital Group has appointed Marketa Dvorak (pictured) as managing director for global financial institutions in Asia Pacific.
Based in Singapore, Dvorak will report to Nick Shaw, head of the client group for global financial institutions.
Dvorak’s responsibilities will include strengthening Capital Group’s relationships with major financial institutions across the region.
Dvorak began her career at JP Morgan in London before joining Wellington Management, where she spent eight years in the London office. She relocated to Singapore to 2015 to build out its wealth business in the region.
Most recently, she was firm’s head of southeast Asia for the global wealth management group, responsible for strategic partnerships with global financial intermediaries and regional banks.
“We hear from global financial institutions that they want fewer partners and expect more from their asset manager. We’re committed to supporting our partners across the region to meet their needs and their clients’ financial goals. Asia Pacific is a key growth market for Capital Group where we have been serving investors for more than 40 years,” said Shaw.
“Marketa’s deep knowledge of the region combined with her proven ability to foster meaningful relationships will be instrumental as we continue to build upon the successful partnerships we have established. We are delighted to welcome her to the team.”
“I am excited to join Capital Group in this role, dedicated to growing and establishing strategic relationships with global financial institutions in the Asia Pacific region. I look forward to collaborating with our team around the world to further build upon the momentum with GFI partners both globally and locally and support more investors in the region,” said Dvorak.
