Manager and team

Because we maintain separate Asian and Japan teams, our Pan-Asian Product Group co-ordinates the management of this product. This split of responsibilities allows us to have investment managers who focus on their areas of expertise, while opening up the forum for discussion on which stocks to pick. The group meets weekly, although regular informal meetings take place regularly. This is aided by the fact that our Asia and Japan teams sit together in our Edinburgh headquarters.

John Millar, a director within our Japan team, is the lead manager for our Pan-Asia portfolios. John receives support from our Japan, Asia and Greater China teams.
