MFS Investment Management has hired Chopin Zhou as the director of business development and relationship management for China of its wholly-owned subsidiary, MFS Financial Management Consulting (Shanghai) Co Ltd, a media report said.

Zhou reports to Jonathan Tiu, senior managing director, Asia, at MFS, and will be based in Shanghai at the office MFS opened in August last year. Zhou has over 16 years of industry experience and was deputy head of institutional and international business at SWS MU Fund Management prior to joining MFS. Before that, he was deputy head of institutional business at Franklin Templeton Sealand Fund Management, and the head of capital market research at Accenture Shanghai. He began his career with HSBC Group in China and Canada.

He will coordinate business development and client relationship management for MFS in China.

"Until recently, we have been servicing clients based in mainland China from our offices in Singapore and Hong Kong. We opened the office in Shanghai to better connect clients in the region with experts who understand the local market, language and culture," Tiu said.

In addition to Shanghai, MFS' offices in the Asia-Pacific region include Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney. As of 31 January 2018, MFS manages $510.6 billion in assets.
