Fidelity International has appointed Jackson Lee as country head of China.
Lee has worked in China for over six years and has over 12 years’ asset management experience. He joined Fidelity in 2010, and his most recent role was Beijing chief representative. In his new role, he will be based in Shanghai.
Lee reports to Daisy Ho, managing director of Asia ex-Japan. He will lead the investment management firm’s long-term strategy in China. Specifically, he will be responsible for identifying and pursuing new business opportunities.
“Jackson played an instrumental role in building our presence among key regulators and stakeholders in China, establishing our foundation and initiating the private fund management registration,” said Ho.
“We are currently building out our investment team in Shanghai. We will launch our first onshore private fund in the next six months to support Chinese institutional and high net worth investors’ needs,” added Lee.
The company recently obtained what it claimed to be the first private fund management licence in China, allowing it to create onshore investment products in China for eligible institutional and high net worth investors for the first time.
This publication is awaiting confirmation as to whether this is a newly-created role, and will update accordingly.
