Marc Fisher (pictured, ex-Citigroup) has been chosen to head up the Hong Kong office of London-based research specialist and FoHF manager, Financial Risk Management (FRM). Fisher will be leaving London to take over the reins from Au King Lun who has already joined the Bank of China as general manager and head of asset management. Fisher joined FRM in 2008 as Managing Director for marketing in the Hong Kong region, in addition to heading up its Principia product range and acting as product manager for Sigma, the firm’s managed futures portfolio. Commenting on the new role, Fisher told Hedgeweek via email: “I’m focusing on three primary things. First is building up a high calibre staff that has a high degree of technical ability, language skills and a solution driven mindset. Second is continuing to provide excellent service to our existing clients here, and third is educating investors on FRM’s long history as an innovator in funds of hedge funds.”FRM has long prided itself on bringing an “institutional” approach to hedge fund management, counting pension funds, corporates and high net worth individuals amongst its investor/client base. As of end-June, the firm had USD8.5 billion in AUM.
