Guinness Global Investors (Guinness) has promoted Valerie Huang to Portfolio Manager and appointed her as Co-manager of the Guinness Asian Equity Income and Guinness Best of Asia Funds.
Huang joined Guinness in 2022 as an Investment Analyst for Asian & Emerging Markets, having previously worked as a Research Analyst at Ardevora Asset Management, covering both long and short ideas across all regions. She is a CFA charterholder.
The promotion extends a pattern of internal talent development at Guinness, with many of its long-standing portfolio managers joining the firm as Investment Analysts.
Edmund Harriss, CIO and Head of Asian and Emerging Market Investments, said: “This well-deserved promotion recognises the valuable contribution Valerie has made and continues to make in building our Asia and EM franchise. We have long considered analyst professional development crucial to maintaining our investment philosophy of quality and value across regions and themes, building our offering and serving clients.”
Huang added: “I look forward to growing our Asia and EM funds further in this new role. It is an exciting time to be a portfolio manager in Asia and emerging markets as investors look to the economic dynamism and portfolio diversification they offer.”
