Financial services firm [tag|Chubb|]Chubb has recruited Asia specialist Camilla Cecil in Hong Kong. She was previously deputy fund manager of the Ruffer Pacific fund. She moves from Hong Kong to London, a spokesperson told this publication.

Cecil spent six years at Ruffer, the last two of which involved working with the firm’s Head of Asia in Hong Kong. She made regular company visits across the region. Her appointment follows JH&P’s recruitment last year of the US and global equity specialist, William Francklin. The firm is building its direct equity expertise beyond the UK.

The new hire will visit China and Japan to conduct company meetings and recommend stocks for client portfolios. She will also look after international and UK-based clients investing in global mandates.

“The Hong Kong and Japan markets still look relatively cheap on the world stage, especially when compared with US valuations which are looking stretched against most historic measures. With global inter-linkages rising, knowledge of these markets should inform our understanding of the opportunities in Western markets, in addition to being interesting in their own right,” she said.

“Corporate access and disclosure are still lagging behind in Asia and the quality, breadth and depth of research is not as strong as it is in the US and Europe, so I think that meeting managements on the ground and having a good understanding of the region gives an investment manager an edge,” she added.
