Scottish asset manager Aberdeen Standard Investments has created a new position of senior equity investment specialist for Asia Pacific – based in Hong Kong.
Ben Sheehan (pictured left), who was previously Asian equities senior product specialist at HSBC Global Asset Management, joined Aberdeen Standard Investments a few weeks ago, according to his LinkedIn account. Based in Hong Kong, he reports to Donald Amstad, Asia Pacific chief operating officer for distribution and head of investment specialist at Aberdeen Standard Investments.
Sheehan will work with the company’s Asia Pacific equities and distribution teams to ensure investment knowledge transfer internally and externally and help drive its commercial strategy. He was with HSBC for 12 years in various positions.
Meanwhile, Aberdeen Standard Investments says its Singapore-based Asia Pacific head of banks, Amelie Remond, left the company last week. Her responsibilities will be taken over by the other members of the Asia Pacific distribution team.
