The asset management firm announced today that Daniel Choong has replaced Angelia Chin-Sharpe as CEO of its Malaysia operations.
In his new role, Choong will be responsible for accelerating and strengthening the firm’s local business interests as well as drive its sustainable solution offerings.
Just before his move to BNPP AM, Choong was managing director and head of distribution at another fund manager abrdn Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

Apart from abrdn, Choong has also played senior roles in various institutions, such as ABN Amro Asset Management in Singapore and Nomura Islamic Asset Management Sdn Bhd in Malaysia.

“We want to offer our clients the best solutions and services in what is a growth market for BNP Paribas Asset Management,” she said in a brief statement issued to the media today.
Choong will report to Chin-Sharpe, who has been appointed the firm’s CEO in Singapore.
