Investment manager Conning is expanding its investment solutions to cater to institutional clients in Asia Pacific. The firm’s Hong Kong entity, formerly called Cathay Conning Asset Management Ltd has changed its name to Conning Asia Pacific Ltd.

 

Woody Bradford, chairman and CEO of Conning said that Conning plans to leverage on its global experience and support of the company’s new owner, Cathay Financial Holdings, in delivering a client-centric approach to the market.

 

Bo Kratz, CEO of Conning, Asia Pacific added,  “We will be able to take advantage of Conning’s global resources to better help our clients meet their financial needs especially in Greater China, Japan and Korea.”

 

Conning’s newly formed institutional clients group is focused on maintaining growth in key strategic markets in the region through innovation and close proximity to clients.
