Editorial Staff

20 October 2023

SMBC
has appointed Abbas Rangwala in the newly-created role of head of mergers and acquisitions for Southeast Asia and India. 

Rangwala, who most recently was group head of mergers, acquisitions and business development at Bharti Enterprises, the Indian corporate, is based in Singapore.

While not strictly a wealth management role, the job of advising and guiding M&A and functions puts Rangwala in contact with many individuals who stand to gain from the liquidity events M&A produces.

Rangwala reports to Miranda Zhao, head of M&A, Asia-Pacific, and Bertrand Guiot, head of real assets and investment banking, Southeast Asia and head of infrastructure fund coverage for APAC.

Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking is part of the Paris-headquartered Groupe BPCE, the second largest banking group in France and which operates through the Banque Populaire and Caisse d’Epargne retail networks.
