Asset management giant BlackRock has appointed two executives in Asia to focus on the region’s wealth management segment.
BlackRock appoints Mandy Lui as head of Greater China wealth and Dennis Quah as head of Singapore wealth, according to a statement.
Lui will commence her Hong Kong-based role in mid-August and focus on developing deeper strategic relationships with key distributors in Hong Kong, Taiwan and offshore China. She was most recently working at Baring Asset Management as head wealth/retail distribution for Greater China and Southeast Asia. Previously she also worked at BNP Paribas Asset Management, Schroders and Russell Investments.
Quah joins the firm in Singapore today and will focus on building partnerships with consumer banks, private banks and insurers as well as bringing together BlackRock specialists to build wealth portfolios. He has two decades of asset management experience in Asia, having previously worked at Columbia Threadneedle, Amundi, OCBC Bank and Schroders.
«[Lui and Quah’s] deep local market understanding and expertise in helping clients build whole portfolios are highly valuable as we serve the new and evolving needs of our investors in this current market environment,» said James Raby, BlackRock’s APAC head of wealth.
