Axa appoints two to Asia fixed income team

Axa Investment Managers has made two additions to its fixed income team in Asia, as it attempts to bolster its coverage of the region.

Honyu Fung has been appointed as senior portfolio manager while Jason Pang takes on the role of portfolio manager.

The pair will be based in Hong Kong and report to head of fixed income Asia, Jim Veneau.

Fung will be responsible for managing key client portfolios and providing credit sector coverage.

He previously spent more than 11 years at HSBC Global Asset Management as the associate director for Hong Kong markets, where he oversaw Asian Fixed Income mandates.

Pang will be responsible for managing fixed income portfolios and providing bottom-up credit analysis on Asian fixed income issuers.

He was previously a senior Asian fixed income investment manager at HSBC Global Asset Management in Hong Kong.

On the appointments, head of fixed income Asia, Jim Veneau, said: “As a business we continue to see increasing demand for Asian fixed income products from our global client base.

“These appointments will enable us to provide greater coverage to the Asian markets as we focus on expanding our investment capabilities and range of fixed income products tailored to client needs.”

AXA IM has been expanding both its investment teams and product offering in Asia and recently added 20 funds in Hong Kong and Singapore and also hired Lion Global Investors’ chief investment officer Simon Flood as the head of Asia Pacific.
