Steedman will report to Jonathan Schuman, the firm’s head of
global business development.

to provide distinctive Asian investment strategies and
high‐quality service to our partners and investors across the UK
and Europe,” Schuman said.
Matthews Asia gives European investors access to nine
Asia-focused funds and has $27.9 billion in assets under
management, as at 30 November this year.
