New Asia Pacific head for BNY Mellon Asset Management
Former ING Investment Management executive, Alan Harden, has moved to BNY Mellon Asset Management to head its Asia Pacific business.
Harden, who was also named a member of BNY Mellon Asset Management’s executive committee, will be based in Hong Kong and will have responsibility for all distribution, strategic, financial and operating plans, as well as business development across Asia Pacific.
He would also support BNY Mellon Asset Management’s relationship with key clients in the region, including sovereign wealth funds.
Harden joined the company from ING Investment Management, where he was chief executive officer of the Asia Pacific business. Prior to ING, Harden was chief executive officer of Alliance Trust PLC and was head of Citigroup Asset Management’s Asia Pacific operations.
President of investment management at BNY Mellon, Mitchell Harris, said the Asia Pacific region continued to exhibit strong growth for investment management companies, adding that Harden’s depth of experience would drive the company’s momentum.
Harden will report to Curtis Arledge, vice chairman of BNY Mellon and chief executive officer of BNY Mellon’s Investment Management division, which includes the asset management and wealth management business.
