UBS AM appoints APAC fixed income head
UBS Asset Management has appointed Shamaila Khan as head of fixed income for emerging markets and Asia Pacific, effective 1 April 2023.
Khan would take up the role after more than 10 years at AllianceBernstein, where she was most recently head of emerging markets fixed income and oversaw US$33 billion ($49 billion) assets under management across EM dedicated strategies and EM exposure in multi-sector accounts.
She had also been responsible for leading a team of 23 portfolio managers, credit and sovereign research analysts and traders based in New York, London, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
In this new role based in New York, she would report to Charlotte Baenninger, global head of fixed income, and become a member of the fixed income investment forum.
According to Baenninger, Khan was “a seasoned investor” with a proven track record.
“She is also a complementary fit to our EM and Asia Portfolio Management, Sovereign and Credit analyst teams with our well-established approach of bottom-up expertise on the ground with our top-down asset allocation views,” she said.
Khan would succeed Hayden Briscoe, who would take on the new role of APAC head of multi-asset portfolio management for investment solutions, in addition to his role as head of Hong Kong AM.
