What you need to know about Lombard Odier’s new hires in AsiaPac

Lombard Odier has expanded its institutional sales team with the appointment of three new members in Asia-Pacific.

Lombard Odier’s appointments underline our focus on Greater China and Asian equities. The Firm offers institutional clients a range of innovative products including thematic investments, convertibles funds, fundamentally weighted fixed income products and manages more than $3 billion in hedge funds. Lombard Odier’s managers seek to deliver performance by identifying sources of both risk and return through absolute return, active and passive strategies.

“Enhancing our institutional sales service and expanding our institutional offering are key elements of our growth plan in Asia,” said Vincent Duhamel, Limited Partner and Regional Head of Asia. “All three bring tremendous experience from their roles at global firms with strong regional presences and will help Lombard Odier deepen our connections among the institutional investment community across the region.”

Sheau-Yien Wang joins the Institutional Sales team where she is responsible for key institutional client relationships in South East Asia. Wang was previously with State Street Global Advisors Singapore Limited for over ten years where she was most recently Managing Director, Head of Sales Asia (ex Japan).
