Nikko AM Australia continues positive momentum with appointment of new institutional business head
Nikko Asset Management Australia continues the momentum of its business with the appointment of Eddy Schipper as head of institutional business. The newly created role will report to Managing Director, Sam Hallinan.
Mr Schipper’s most recent role was Executive Director, Asia Pacific Investor Relations at IFM Investors, where he significantly contributed to IFM Investors since starting with the firm in 2008. He recently returned from a year working in Japan for IFM Investors, launching their Japan office.
Of Mr Schipper’s move to Nikko Asset Management, Sam Hallinan commented that, “Eddy’s experience in Japan combined with his extensive experience here in Australia will bring a new dimension to our already capable distribution team. The energy surrounding our commitment to become Asia’s premier global asset manager has enabled us to attract and secure someone of Eddy’s talent, experience and reputation.”
The new appointment follows recent recruits Rob Bluzmanis and Naomi Finnigan to Nikko Asset Management Australia’s distribution team.
Mr Schipper will officially join his new team by the end of October this year.
