Neuberger Berman Investment Management (Shanghai) has confirmed it is to roll out its first private fund for high-net-worth and institutional investors in China.

The launch will take place by the end of March and follows Neuberger Berman’s securing of a private fund management licence from the Asset Management Association of China in November last year.

A spokesperson for Neuberger Berman confirmed to this publication reports that the fixed-income fund will be run by Peter Ru, managing director and senior portfolio manager of the emerging markets debt team. Ru is based in Shanghai. 

​More strategies in China are being introduced this year.
