In a move to strengthen FTSE Russell’s global sustainability team and keep pace with investors increasingly looking to incorporate sustainablity into their portfolios, the index and data provider has appointed Helena Fung as head of sustainable investment, Asia-Pacific.
Fung, who has over 10 years of experience in environmental, social and governance (ESG) and sustainable investment, comes to FTSE Russel from a family office in Asia where her responsibilities included ESG integration, equity analysis and advising on philanthropy.
In her newly created role at FTSE Russell, Helena will be responsible for directing sustainable investment indexes and data services across the region, helping develop the firm’s sustainable investment product strategy, and engaging with clients on a range of products and data to support them in reaching their investment decisions.
“Helena brings a wealth of experience within ESG and sustainable investment across the investment industry, both in Europe and Hong Kong,” says Jessie Pak, managing director, head of information services, Asia-Pacific, London Stock Exchange Group. “I look forward to working with Helena as we continue to expand our business in Asia-Pacific and grow our sustainable investment capabilities to meet the growing demand from customers across Asia and globally.”
