Citi has appointed Cheeping Yap as head of fund services for Asia, excluding Australia, for its Securities and Fund Services business. In this new role, Yap, who will continue to be based in Hong Kong, will be responsible for growing Citi’s fund services platform for the Asia Pacific region.
He will report to David Russell, head of Securities and Fund Services Asia Pacific and to Sanjiv
Sawhney, global head of Fund Services.
David Russell said, “As our clients continue to look at investment opportunities in the region, they look to Citi as key enable for their business expansion. Cheeping’s appointment underlines our focus to expand in a fast growing area of our business.”
Yap joined Citi in Hong Kong in late 2006 as head of Securities and Fund Services for China, based in Shanghai. In July 2009, he assumed the role as head of Securities and Fund Services for Hong Kong where he was instrumental in expanding Citi’s product offerings in exchange traded funds, Hong Kong and Cayman Unit Trust services, MPFA pension fund services and RMB fund services products in Hong Kong.
