Lyxor Asset Management has appointed Laurent Renaud as CEO in Japan, effective immediately. He replaces Toshiro Kubozono who retired after nine years in this role and made valuable contribution to the development of Lyxor in the country. 

Based in Tokyo, Renaud reports to Lionel Paquin, CEO, Lyxor Asset Management and locally to Raphael Cheminat, group country head for Japan, Societe Generale.

In his new role, Renaud manages Lyxor’s subsidiary in Japan. His main task is to develop Lyxor’s franchise locally, through building on Lyxor’s strengths –  particularly in ETF and indexing and in multi-management – and further enhancing cross-selling opportunities with the large client base of Societe Generale in Japan. Renaud’s in-depth knowledge of the Japanese market is a great asset to help Lyxor cater to the needs of Japanese banks, securities firms, insurance companies and pension funds.
