The newly-appointed figure, who will be taking up the role from the start of April, has worked in the sector for more than 20 years.

JP Morgan Asset Management has appointed Supreet Bhan as head of intermediary business for Hong Kong, effective 1 April, subject to regulatory approval. 

Bhan, who will be based in Hong Kong, will report to Elisa Ng, CEO of Hong Kong, JPAM said in a statement yesterday. 

He will be responsible for driving JPMAM’s fund sales and client engagements in Hong Kong, concentrating on the private banking and retail side. 

With more than two decades' experience in financial services, Bhan joined the business as head of funds for India in 2013, and has since led various distribution teams across the APAC region. In his most recent role as head of Southeast Asia funds, he expanded and widened the business across markets and product offerings. 

Before JPMAM, he worked for eight years at DSP BlackRock, leading sales efforts in India.
