UK-based asset manager M&G Investments ( M&G ) has appointed Luke Chang as its general manager and head of intermediary distribution for Taiwan, reporting to Amy Cho, the head of Asia-Pacific.
Chang, based in Taipei, will lead the asset manager’s Taiwan intermediary distribution strategy, with responsibility to further develop and deepen the company’s relationships across financial intermediaries. He brings nearly two decades of experience across investment management, distribution and business leadership in Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China.
He joins M&G from AXA Investment Managers, where he was most recently CEO of AXA Investment Managers, Shanghai, and head of sales, China. Prior to this, Chang held a range of investment, distribution and leadership roles at BlackRock across Shanghai, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The company established its Taipei office and secured a Securities Investment Consulting Enterprise licence in 2023, as part of its business development initiatives within Asia-Pacific. This is complemented, the company says, by its partnership with Capital Gateway Investments, the master agent for its funds registered in Taiwan – combining M&G’s global investment expertise with Capital Gateway’s local distribution network.
M&G has been active in Asia-Pacific for two decades and continues to expand its regional platform to meet evolving client needs. Across the region, investors are increasingly seeking diversified sources of income, broader access to global opportunities and exposure to private markets as they build more resilient portfolios.
The company’s recent appointments of Cameron Sinclair as its head of institutional distribution, Australia, and Ruth Poh as its head of compliance, Asia-Pacific reinforce its commitment to invest in local market expertise, client coverage and operating capabilities to support growing demand for a broader range of investment solutions.
“Taiwan’s wealth market continues to evolve as investors seek broader access to global investment opportunities and trusted partners who understand their needs,” Cho adds. “Chang’s extensive experience and deep understanding of Taiwan make him well placed to lead our business. He will help us strengthen our relationships with distributors and support clients across a broader range of investment needs.”
