has promoted one of its senior figures, Hui-Jian Koh, to the role of chief executive, Singapore. Regulatory approval has been obtained with respect to the CEO appointment, the firm said in a statement.
Koh will also retain her role as head of retail distribution and partnerships, Southeast Asia, it said. She reports to Michael Dommermuth, head of wealth and asset management, Asia for Manulife Investment Management.
“Singapore and the Southeast Asian markets are important for our global wealth and asset management business. The increasingly affluent domestic population in the region means greater need for investment products, presenting significant growth opportunities to our business,” Dommermuth said. "As Asia faces the challenge of ageing segments, investors are in need of retirement solutions and long-term, income-oriented investment strategies, something that Manulife Investment Management is strongly positioned to provide.”
Koh joined Manulife Investment Management in 2019 as head of retail distribution and partnership, Singapore. Prior to this, she was head of product at Prudential, and before that, she was head of retail distribution at Eastspring Investments.
