Based in Hong Kong, Mr. Suen joined Pinebridge in 2012 and now holds the position of senior vice president, co-head of Asia ex-Japan fixed income and portfolio manager. He is responsible for portfolio management of Asia credit strategies and leading a team of research analysts focused on the region's issuers and trends.
