The Hong Kong-listed investment house has appointed new leadership.

Value Partners Group has appointed Dr. Au King Lun, previously chief executive of Eastspring Investments, as CEO.

Lun joined Eastspring in December last year after five years as CEO of BOCHK Asset Management. He has nearly 30 years of experience in asset management, and is a member of the Financial Services Development Council in Hong Kong, also sitting on the Advisory Committee of the region’s Securities and Futures Commission.

In his new role, he will take charge of the group’s business and corporate affairs, reporting to the chairman, Dato’ Seri Cheah Cheng Hye, who looks after overall investment management, business strategy and key appointments. Hye himself stepped in as interim CEO on 1 November after Tse Wai Ming tendered his resignation and stepped down from the helm.

“Our vision is to become a world-class asset management group, and King Au, together with the other very capable managers we already have in our team, can help us achieve our vision,” said Hye.

Founded in 1993, Value Partners Group has around $13.8 billion assets under management.
