“I am delighted to join Acadian and work alongside such a talented and collaborative team,” Wang said. “Acadian has long been recognised as a pioneer in systematic investing, and I am excited to help deepen relationships with investors across Southeast Asia as demand for quantitative investment solutions continues to grow.”
Acadian also announced the expansion of its Singapore-based investment team with the appointments of portfolio manager Minhao Leong, PhD, CFA and trader Danny Ly.
