HSBC Asset Management (HSBC AM) has appointed John Dewey, formerly of Aviva Investors, as head of alternative solutions within its HSBC Alternatives business.
The role is newly created and Dewey will be based in London until relocating to Singapore later in the year as part of HSBC AM’s planned expansion in Asia, when Dewey will take on the extra role of regional head of alternatives.
Reporting to Joanna Munro, chief executive of HSBC Alternatives, Dewey will lead business development for HSBC Alternatives.
Dewey was at Aviva Investors since 2016, where he was most recently deputy chief executive of Aviva Investors France. He previously held roles at BlackRock and Mercer.
Munro said: “We have seen significant growth in our alternatives capabilities in recent years and are building out our Asia and sustainability strategies. John’s extensive experience with alternative solutions will be crucial in helping us bring these to our clients.”
The focus on Asia saw Nicolas Moreau, CEO of HSBC AM, move to the region last year. Moreau was interviewed by Funds Europe in May 2021.
HSBC Alternatives has a team of 150 staff and combined assets under management and advice of $54 billion, as of September 30, 2021.
