old mutual global boosts asia distribution team

Old Mutual Global Investors has beefed up its Hong Kong based Asian distribution team and has further plans to further boost the sales team during the year.
The fund house said Iris Tsui has joined the company on 1 April as a senior sales manager from E Fund Management, where she was responsible for business development through intermediaries and institutional clients.
 
Prior to that, Tsui worked for both HSBC and Citibank as an investment consultant for more than five years.
Reporting to Kylie Chan, Tsui will focus on developing different distribution channels in Asia and to provide client service to the company’s partners in this region.
 
Chan joined the company in December 2013 as head of sales. Most recently, she was head of distribution for Hong Kong and China at BNP Paribas Investment Partners, Hong Kong. Reporting to Carol Wong, Chan is responsible for executing the company’s newly developed strategic distribution plans.
 
In September, Old Mutual Global announced three senior level appointments including that of Wong.
 
Wong who is managing director, head of distribution, Asia for Old Mutual Global Investors, said: “Asia is an important market for us and we are now focussed on growing our assets under management by distributing through global financial institutions, regional banks and wealth managers, including Old Mutual Wealth.”
 
“The hiring of Iris is another important step for this expansion plan and we will also be adding further support to the Asian sales team over the course of this year.”
 
Wong is responsible for managing Old Mutual Global Investors’ Hong Kong based team and developing the business strategy for the region.  
 
Old Mutual Global Investors is the asset management division of Old Mutual Wealth and has assets under management worth £16bn.
