“Over the past two-and-a-half decades, we have emerged as the biggest success story in Hong Kong’s asset management industry, and the knowledge we’ve accumulated and lessons learnt will be very useful in Malaysia.”

Michael William Greenall will head the company’s Malaysia office as well as support the company’s business expansion efforts in the Southeast Asian region.
