Capital Group, an active asset manager with over US$2.8 trillion in assets under management (AUM), has appointed Marketa Dvorak as managing director, global financial institutions (GFI) in Asia Pacific (Apac).
Dvorak (pictured) will continue to be based in Singapore and reports to London-based Nick Shaw, head of client group, GFI, who oversees GFI operations in both Asia and Europe.
Dvorak started earlier this month on November 11 and was previously managing director, global wealth management, Apac, at Wellington Management, according to her LinkedIn prodiles.
The aim is for Dvorak to deepen and expand Capital Group’s relationships with major financial institutions based across Apac, according to a media release. Her responsibilities will include working with local client groups, including global and regional distributors, supoporting strategic objectives and support clients in the region with value-added services beyond investing, according to the release.
Shaw said in the release: “We hear from global financial institutions that they want fewer partners and expect more from their asset manager. We’re committed to supporting our partners across the region to meet their needs and their clients’ financial goals. Apac is a key growth market for Capital Group where we have been serving investors for more than 40 years.”
Dvorak commented, “I'm excited to join Capital Group in this role, dedicated to growing and establishing strategic relationships with global financial institutions in the Apac region. I look forward to collaborating with our team around the world to further build upon the momentum with GFI partners both globally and locally, and support more investors in the region.”
