Seok Poh Yeoh, HSBC Asset Management
HSBC Asset Management has chosen Seok Poh Yeoh as its head of credit research for Asia, effective immediately. In this role, she will oversee the credit research team in the region and strengthen the integration within HSBC AM’s global investment platform and support sustainable investment efforts.
Based in Hong Kong, Yeoh will report to Tina Radovic, global head of credit research, based in Paris and Elizabeth Allen, head of Asian fixed income, based in Hong Kong.
Yeoh takes over from Allen who took on her new role in February this year, when HSBC AM fixed income veteran Ceclia Chan stepped up to the Asia Pacific chief investment officer role. She replaced Bill Maldonado, who left the firm to pursue other opportunities.
Yeoh has 16 years of industry experience and joined HSBC AM as a financial analyst in 2012, and since then she has been “instrumental in strengthening credit research processes in Asia,” according to a media statement.
Prior to joining HSBC, she was a financial and corporate credit research analyst in Credit Suisse.
“[Yeoh’s] analytical and research background, combined with her sustained involvement in the global fund offerings, make her the ideal candidate to lead the Asian research platform,” said Allen.
HSBC AM’s Asian fixed income assets under management are about $73bn, as of 31 March 2021, according to the firm.
