Who tops AsianInvestor’s list of people moves for 2011?

We publish our view on Asian asset management’s biggest hires of the year. Here you can find out who featured on our 25-strong shortlist, and who made the final cut.
Who tops AsianInvestor’s list of people moves for 2011?

For the second consecutive year, AsianInvestor set out to list the top 10 people moves in the region’s asset management industry over the past 12 months.

We ranked them based, in no particular order, on seniority, size of business, market impact, growth plans, and whether it represents a new initiative or trend.

To view last year’s top 10, please click here.

For the 2011 version we came up with a shortlist of 25 leading contenders (listed below in alphabetical order), although to make the final cut they had to have started their new role this year.

Always a challenging and subjective process, it offers a snapshot of the year’s key trends: the growing appeal of Asia as a driver of business growth; the rise of Asian fixed income; and renewed focus on retail and private banking amid erosion of margins in institutional business.

In our decision-making we tended to favour those who were hired with a mandate to build out a business. We encourage you to send your feedback to [email protected].

AsianInvestor’s final top 10 list for 2011 was printed in our December edition. To view it via our e-magazine, now available on our homepage, please click here.
