Ascalon Asia has appointed Andrew Hutson as investment analyst covering business development and investor relations in Asia, Europe and the United States for select Ascalon partner firms.
As part of his new role, he will work with Ascalon Asia chief operating officer Chuak Chan to source new partnerships with Asian-based asset management businesses.
Hutson was previously investment manager at GAM Hong Kong where he was involved in the selection, allocation and monitoring of allocations to Asian hedge funds.
Ascalon head of business development Jason Collins said Hutson's appointment was significant not only for Ascalon's Asian-based partners, but its Australian-based partners as well.
"We believe the appropriate resourcing in Asia is key to helping our partners grow their Asian and European investor base," he said.
