BlackRock moves to hire GF Securities boss for China operations

BlackRock is moving to beef up its understrength Chinese operations by approaching Tang Xiaodong, a veteran investor with experience on both sides of the Pacific, to run its operations on the mainland, according to people briefed on the move.

Until recently, China was not a top priority for BlackRock. At the end of last year, it had less than $430bn of its assets under management in Asia, down from $471bn at the end of the previous year, primarily as a result of outflows from China and market changes. The US fund manager had less than 7 per cent of its $6tn of total assets in Asia.

However, as China opens up its markets to foreign investors the region is becoming increasingly important for asset managers, including BlackRock.
