PineBridge Investments announced on Tuesday (March 19) the appointment of Kyeung-Won Min as representative director and head of institutional sales in South Korea, with immediate effect.
Based in PineBridge’s Seoul office, he will assume responsibility for all business development in South Korea.
Commenting on the appointment, Rajeev Mittal, PineBridge’s Asia Pacific CEO, said: “Korea is the third largest fund market in Asia and there is tremendous potential to achieve further growth in the institutional space. With our global manufacturing capability and on–the-ground presence, we believe PineBridge can be a trusted partner to the Korean investor base. Kyeung-Won’s experience in marketing financial products to the Korean institutional market will be instrumental in achieving this objective.”
