The US asset manager has eliminated the role, resulting in the departure of Celestine Khoo.

The US asset manager has hired its first head of Asia insurance coverage, reflecting a trend among its peers. He starts on November 11 to tap this rapidly expanding client segment.

Fidelity names China president; PFI Mega Life appoints chief; Bank of Singapore CIO exits, team restructure; Allianz Real Estate names global head of research; Eaton Vance poaches sales exec from Robeco; Investec AM hires head of private banking; and more.
