In his new role, Mr Schiller will be responsible for developing new business opportunities and client-focused solutions to meet the needs of investors in Asia-Pacific markets.
“I’m excited about this new role to help meet the unique needs of investors throughout the diverse Asia- Pacific region,” Mr Schiller said.
“The region’s financial markets are still in the early stages of development, and there are many opportunities where Morningstar can help investors navigate the course ahead.”
Mr Schiller joins Morningstar from a role as executive managing director and Asia-Pacific region head for Standard & Poor’s in Tokyo, where he managed the ratings and Capital IQ divisions.
He worked for Standard & Poor’s for 25 years, and was in the Tokyo office for most of that time.
“Tom has significant experience in Asia-Pacific financial information services, and has deep knowledge of the region and its markets,” Morningstar Australasia chief executive officer Anthony Serhan said.
“We hope to leverage his expertise to enhance our offerings for local investors, as well as expand the range of our locally relevant solutions over time.”
Morningstar expanded to Asia in early 2000 and now has operations in Japan, Korea, India, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Thailand.
