Investment Managers has appointed former Schroders senior
figure Ping Yee Low as its head of institutional business,
Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Low, who is based in Singapore, reports to Dora Seow, CEO, Natixis IM Singapore, the firm said in a statement yesterday.
At Schroders, Low was head of institutional business for Southeast Asia – a post she held for more than seven years, according to her Linkedin profile. Previously, she worked for six years at CTBC Bank Co (Singapore), and before that, at Mercer.
“The region is seeing rapid growth, and we want to capitalise on this, expanding into new markets and building on our existing networks. Working closely with our range of investment managers, I believe Ping Yee’s strategic thinking and expertise will be invaluable in helping us grow our business,” Fabrice Chemouny, head of international distribution, Natixis IM, said.
Natixis IM has made a number of Asia-Pacific leadership moves, such as those of Johan Lim who joined as the firm’s head of Wealth for Hong Kong, Singapore and Southeast Asia.
The group, headquartered in Paris and Boston, has more than $1.4 trillion assets under management, as at 30 June. It is part of Groupe BPCE, the French banking group.
