Jamieson expands its Singapore team
Melbourne-based Jamieson Coote Bonds has announced the expansion of its team with a new appointment of Ben Wang who would join as a portfolio manager in the firm’s Singapore office.
In his new role, he would be responsible for providing portfolio management support, research and analysis for the firm’s domestic and global high-grade bond strategies.
Wang joined from Wah Hun, a Singapore based family office, where he served as vice president, investments. Prior to that, for three years he worked as a performance analyst at Aberdeen asset Management.
The firm first opened its office in Singapore by the end of last year, hiring Kate Samranvedhya as deputy chief investment officer.
“Ben’s analytical and quantitative skills, macroeconomic and asset allocation experience, combined with perspective from his native China give our team additional strength and diversity of views,” Samranvedhya said, commenting on the appointment.
The company said that it recently offered its global investment strategy to the broader Australian investors market through the launch of the CC JCB Global Bond Fund as Australian priced unit trust.
JCB currently managed A$2.5 billion of assets under management for both institutional and retail investors.
