Aberdeen Investments has announced the appointment of Vivian Tang as the Head of the APAC Client Group, a move aimed at strengthening its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. Tang, who joined Aberdeen in 2022 as Head of Institutional – Asia Pacific, will now oversee both institutional and wholesale distribution across the region. This strategic enhancement is intended to foster growth by deepening partnerships with financial intermediaries and asset owners.
John McCareins, Chief Client Officer at Aberdeen Investments, highlighted the importance of relationships in the industry, stating, “Enhancing our APAC Client Group and appointing Vivian to this expanded leadership role brings greater alignment and a more coordinated approach across all client touchpoints in the region.”
In addition to Tang’s appointment, Natalie Tan will manage wholesale distribution in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, whilst Tina Tong will expand her remit to include Taiwan and cross-border China offshore business opportunities. Ian Macdonald, CEO – Asia Pacific, expressed confidence in the new leadership team, emphasising their role in positioning strategic partnerships at the core of Aberdeen’s future growth.
Aberdeen has been actively expanding its footprint in Asia Pacific, partnering with a leading digital bank in Singapore in 2025 to launch retail investment solutions. The firm also broadened access to its institutional-grade credit capabilities for various financial institutions across the region.
Vivian Tang commented on the region’s strategic importance, stating, “By bringing our institutional and wholesale capabilities closer together, we can better serve our clients with more tailored solutions and deeper, long-term partnerships.” Aberdeen’s recent organisational changes reflect its commitment to aligning product development with client needs, supporting long-term partnerships globally.
