Maple-Brown Abbott director to depart


Maple-Brown Abbott director, Geoff Bazzan, is to leave the firm after almost 30 years.
Bazzan joined the firm in 1995 and was appointed as an executive director in July 2008 and also works as head of Asia Pacific equities.
This included setting up and managing the firm’s Asian Investment Trust and Asian Dividend Growth funds.
He would transition over the next few months and leave the firm on 3 July.
Writing on LinkedIn, Bazzan said: “It has been a great privilege to have worked for so long at such an impressive company, including sitting on the board for over a decade. I am very proud of our long-term track record of outperformance, and particularly the excellent relative returns the team has generated over the last two years in what has been an extremely challenging backdrop for Asian equities.
‘Whilst it was a far from easy decision to leave Maple-Brown Abbott I am also excited at the prospect of what the future may bring, and I look forward to updating my friends and colleagues on my future plans in due course.”
