Portfolio management will be taken over by our European emerging market teams, which we are in the process of strengthening through two new senior hires. Our Asia local trading and research capacities will remain unchanged.

We remain committed to our presence in Hong Kong and in the Asian market. Our expansion strategy in the region will focus on the distribution of global products. Our Hong Kong office will also continue to host the transversal functions that support our regional presence.
