New Hong Kong-based start-up Cathay Conning Asset Management outsources its middle and back office to Citi.

Initially the firm is looking at high-yielding stocks to kick-start a $1 billion Asia ex-Japan equity mandate for parent Cathay, but it is questioning the relevance of Asian fixed income.

Cathay Conning Asset Management’s new CEO, Mark Konyn, reveals his hiring and build-out plans, as well as why he took the job at the start-up.

The joint-venture manager has appointed Mark Konyn to lead its strategic expansion across the region targeting institutional and insurance assets.
