Neuberger Berman Announces New AsiaPac Distribution Head

Neuberger Berman has announced the appointment of Nick Hoar as head of distribution for Asia-Pacific with immediate effect.

Hoar, managing director and part of the management team that led the firm's European client franchise, shall relocate to Hong Kong from London for the role. He takes over from Tony Edwards, who has left the company for another opportunity. In this position, Hoar will focus on institutional and intermediary clients and report to Andrew Komaroff, the chief operating officer and head of global distribution.

"We are seeing increased interest in our firm and its capabilities across all of Asia-Pacific, and adding [Hoar] is an important step in continuing our commitment to serve clients in this part of the world," said Komaroff in a statement.

The new position does not cover Japan and Korea, which are led by Ryo Ohira in Tokyo.
