PineBridge Investments has named Angie Ng as chief executive officer for Malaysia, according to a statement released by the firm on Monday.
Based out of Kuala Lumpur, Ms. Ng will also serve as managing director, equities, reporting to Hong Kong-based Elizabeth Soon, head of Asia (ex-Japan) Equities.
Ng’s new role, which is subject to regulatory approval in Malaysia, will make her responsible for PineBridge’s Malaysia office and the firm’s Malaysia Management Committee.
She will also lead PineBridge’s local equities team, and be responsible for developing investment strategies and portfolio implementation to enhance the firm’s equity capabilities in the region.
She succeeds Sze Peng Yap who, after 20 years with PineBridge, will transition to a senior adviser role, reporting to Kirk Sweeney, chief executive officer for Asia Pacific.
Commenting on the new hire, Sweeney said: “Southeast Asia continues to be a critically important market for us, and Angie’s extensive experience in team management and investment research positions us well in this fast-growing region.”
“This strategic hire underscores our commitment to strengthening our presence in Malaysia and delivering exceptional value for our clients.”
Prior to joining PineBridge, Ng served as investment director at the Malaysian Timber Council in Kuala Lumpur.
