The role is newly created, and Sheehan is based in Hong Kong, the Scottish asset manager said in a statement on April 9, 2019.
“Sheehan is responsible for working closely with the Asia Pacific equities and distribution teams to ensure investment knowledge transfer internally and externally, and help drive the firm’s commercial strategy,” ASI added.
