“We have big strategic ambition to meet this need, and are delighted to have someone of Laura’s strong calibre joining us during this exciting time.”
Commenting on her appointment, Ms Lui said: “As one of the largest onshore asset managers in China , the firm has been on a strong growth trajectory and is very well placed to become a powerful franchise in the China ETF and index space.”
