GAM has appointed Lynn Xing to its emerging market equity team based in Hong Kong. Lynn joins from Bank of China where she was an investment manager in the private equity group managing private and public investments.

Prior to Bank of China, Lynn worked for four years at Ernst & Young in Hong Kong and Denmark, giving her a China, Asian regional and international perspective.

Lynn has considerable experience engaging with corporate management, conducting detailed financial and investment analysis and portfolio management, plus a strong macroeconomic background.

She will report to Robert Mumford in Hong Kong who is a portfolio manager in the GAM global emerging equity team managing Asian and Chinese equity investment strategies. The GAM emerging market equity team is run by Tim Love out of London.

Love notes: “We are excited about the prospects for emerging markets at this stage of the cycle as an investment-grade laggard appealing to value, growth and yield.”
