The independent global asset manager is relocating a specialist to grow the breadth and depth of its investment expertise in the region, and improve its ability to bring regional investment insights to clients worldwide.
Ninety One is strengthening the footprint of its emerging markets fixed income team in Asia with the addition of portfolio manager Alan Siow, who relocates to Hong Kong from its London office, the firm announced on Wednesday.
Siow joined the firm in June 2019. He was previously at BlueBay Asset Management, Alchemy Special Situations and Citigroup Salomon Smith Barney, specializing in emerging markets and fixed-income investments.
«Alan’s move is opportune, as it coincides not only with the continued growth of the fixed income asset class within the region, but also Asia’s steadily growing importance as a key investment destination for global investors,» the firm said in a statement.
Demerger and Rebrand
Founded in South Africa in 1991 as Investec Asset Management, the firm completed its demerger from Investec Group and its rebrand to Ninety One in March.
Ninety One offers distinctive active strategies across equities, fixed income, multi-asset and alternatives to institutions, advisors and individual investors around the world, managing more than £103.4 billion ($135.3 billion) in assets as of March 31, 2020
