Pioneer Investments has just 3% of its assets sourced from Asia, but is aiming to improve this, says senior vice-president Sam Wardwell, who takes note of Asian interest in the US.
Pioneer Investments bolsters its business development and sales team in Asia-Pacific, and is also likely to seek to hire some Asian debt specialists to be based in London.
Jack Lin is the new head of Asia and the Middle East for Pioneer Investments, a unit of UniCredit. He says he will focus on increasing institutional business in the region.
